MDMK workers hold demo against alleged attack on Vaiko

Around 60 MDMK workers today staged a demonstration here condemning the alleged attack by DMK activists on party General Secretary Vaiko, when he had gone to visit the DMK Chief M Karunanidhi, who is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Chennai.

Led by the Urban District secretary, R R Mohankumar, the activists raised slogans against the DMK workers, who allegedly pelted Vaiko's car with stones and footwear, police said.

The workers condemned the act of a section of DMK workers, they said.

Yesterday, the MDMK founder Vaiko was allegedly attacked by DMK supporters when he went to visit M Karunanidhi at Kauvery hospital in Chennai, prompting him to return without meeting the veteran Dravidian leader.
