Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday condoled the death of Jesuit priest Stan Swamy, saying the ''suffering'' the activist endured should not befall anyone else.
Hailing Mr Swamy as an activist of tribal and human rights, who worked for the marginalised sections of society, MK Stalin said he was shocked to learn of his death.
An accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, 84-year-old Stan Swamy died in custody at a hospital in Mumbai on Monday and he awaited bail on medical grounds.
