As the government is not ready to conduct an investigation into the allegations that I've been raising for years, I am beginning an indefinite hunger strike in front of the Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram starting today. My demands are not merely personal but concern social issues of utmost gravity.

My demands are as follows:

1. An inquiry into the allegation that actor Manju Warrier is being held captive by a sex racket.
2. An investigation into the conspiracy behind the case registered against me in Manju Warrier's name.
3. The release of the Hema Committee report and a high-level investigation into the sex racket mentioned in the report.
