Vijayakant slams arrest of party activists

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) president Vijayakant has condemned the arrest of party functionaries in Madurai and demanded their immediate release.

Charging the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam with attempting to derive political mileage out of the clash between AIADMK and DMDK workers during the garlanding of MGR statue in Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vijayakant said the police were excessively interested in taking action against workers of both the parties after obtaining their signatures. All of them had informed the magistrate that they had not lodged any police complaint.

He said the clash could have been averted had the police spaced out the garlanding functions. The Government, which was duty-bound to foster unity among people, should not foment enmity among the youth.
