Puthiya Tamizhagam leader sees attempt to sabotage "padayatra"

CHENNAI: Puthiya Tamizhagam president K. Krishnasamy, has blamed government machinery for the non-completion of poll formalities in Keeripatti, Pappapatti and in two other panchayats in Madurai and Virudhunagar districts.

The machinery failed to provide adequate protection to the elected Dalit panchayat presidents to continue in their posts. Major political parties in the State, including the communists, were also not ready to support the cause of Dalits, Dr. Krishnasamy told reporters here on Saturday. The denial of police permission for the Puthiya Tamizhagam's goodwill "padayatra" from Madurai to Keeripatti panchayat from May 23 was an attempt to sabotage his move to bring a negotiated settlement, Dr. Krishnasamy said. . Many Hindu leaders were ready to find an amicable solution to the issue but the police and the political parties were not interested in settling the issue.
