Madurai: People Watch, a Madurai based human right organisation, has claimed that deputy superintendent of police Selvam from Kodiakanal was pressurizing Manipur right activist Irom Sharmila and her fiancé to leave the hills based on petitions being presented to them by communal forces.

The organization also condemned the engineered moves, presumably by non-government organizations, objecting to their proposed marriage.

“When Kodaikanal can be home to a number of foreigners, to persons from all over India who are welcome as tourists and property holders or teachers in the international schools, how can Irom Sharmila be denied her right to stay is Kodaikanal,” asked Henri Tiphagne, the executive director of People Watch in the release.

She has every right to exercise her freedom of movement enshrined in the Constitution of our country, he added.
