NEW DELHI: Writer and human rights activist Arundhati Roy on Saturday extended her support to a group of students from Kozhikode who have been sitting on an indefinite hunger-strike at Jantar Mantar here for the past six days protesting against the proposed India-U.S. civilian nuclear deal.
Admirable move
Ms. Roy told the students that she was "absolutely against the proposed nuclear deal," adding that the protest was "an admirable and moral move by a group of students."
Protesting under the "Students Against Nuclear Power" banner, the students are demanding that the Union government not sign the nuclear deal, claiming that there was "no merit" in the agreement.
