Stones hurled in director’s meeting

Thanthai Periyar’s birth anniversary celebrations at Goundampalayam, held by the Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam, turned into sour affair when a few activists pelted stones on director Seeman for airing anti-Hindu sentiments. Seeman was delivering a speech about Hindu religion, which had irked a few Hindu Munnani activists. Even after repeated requests

the director refused to discontinue his speech and this paved way for the tense situation. The police had to intervene and ensure a safe exit for Seeman.

Later, the Hindu Munnani and the Bharatiya Janata Party activists gathered at the police station demanding action against Seeman for degrading the Hindu religion. A case has been registered against Seeman.
