Coimbatore: An AIADMK activist on Thursday set himself ablaze in protest against alleged failure of both the Centre and Tamil Nadu governments to find a solution to the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.
Mani (43), a worker in a dyeing factory in Tirupur, doused himself with kerosene on the Kulathupalayam Main road and set himself ablaze, police said.
He was immediately rushed by the public to the Tirupur government hospital, where he is being treated for 90 per cent burns.
A note reportedly recovered from Mani and addressed to AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa stated that both the Centre and state governments have failed to solve the Sri Lankan Tamils problem.
Since January eight people have died in Tamil Nadu after setting themselves ablaze on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.
