Chennai: Activists supporting the Koodankulam nuclear power project have alleged that they have received threatening calls including from abroad and a probe was on to identify the guilty, Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said on Saturday.

"Some people, we don't know whether they are protestors, have made threat calls to those who support Koodankulam project. Some calls were made and letters signed by them were sent. We are investigating the issue and will soon identify the guilty," he told reporters here.

KNPP officials have made complaints to the police seeking action against those making such threats, he said.

"They started the agitations saying they will follow the Gandhian way, but now they are doing this," he said, adding calls were made from abroad too.

Suspecting foreign funding behind the prolonged protest against the plant, he said investigations were on and the Centre would soon take action.

The locals in Koodankulam have been agitating since September last demanding the scrapping of the Indo-Russian project raising safety concerns in the wake of the Fukishuma accident in Japan early this year.

Countering the protests against the plant, some other activists have been demanding the commissioning of the first reactor in the plant. The Madras High Court has been moved by a lawyer seeking to arrest protestors against whom criminal cases have been filed for stalling commissioning the project.

The national media instead of writing on who is right and who is wrong in the kudankulam issue must go to the next stage of bringing to light the real reason, why the left parties and the BJP that made it usual to suspect congress for corruption unusually desist from raking up such allegation in the kudankulam issue? question the left party leaders and the BJP leaders the reason for their unusual stand in support of the Congress government. Make them accountable in the issue. Make the left party leaders explain the people their justification for supporting the nuclear project at kudankulam and opposing it by formulating a 15 member committee under the former AERB chairman, Gopalakrishnan in Jaitapur. If the media is not ready to take up this issue in the kudankuylam row, truth will not come out.

Mr V Narayanasamy firts probe in to the kick backs involved in the reactor deal with Russia. Theres is a great suspicion that not only Congress men but also the left party leaders and the BJP leaders who were part of the deal at one point or other had recieved commissions in the reactor deal. it was hence these opposition party leaders restrained from raking up the suspicion of corruption. and unusually stand by the Congress in the Kudankulam issue. So Mr Narayanasamy instead of making baseless charges aagainst the agitating people, who are well aware of your foolish talks try to bring to book the real culprits who gained a lot from the reactor deal with Russia.
