Kovan, a folk singer in Tamil Nadu, was arrested on October 30 for criticising the state government in a song distributed on the Internet. Kovan was charged with sedition among other alleged crimes.
'The song says that liquor should not be sold by the government. The government should stop people from drinking.' 'I am working for a social cause. I am not doing anything wrong. We have moved a petition in the high court to quash the FIR against me.' 'It is a people's movement. There is no Naxalite involvement here.' Singer Kovan, who was arrested on sedition charges for protesting against the Tamil Nadu governments liquor policy, speaks out.
