Party workers stage protests in Coimbatore and Tiruppur
Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) workers staged a protest in front of the Coimbatore and Tiruppur Collectorates on Friday demanding 20% reservation for Vanniyars in government jobs and education institutions.
In Coimbatore, the protest was led by the party’s youth wing deputy secretary Ashok Srinithi. Around 100 cadre marched from the Thandu Mariamman temple on Avinashi Road to the Collectorate.
As the Coimbatore City Police stopped them in front of the Collectorate, the cadre raised slogans demanding 20% reservation within the MBC quota for Vanniyars. The protest was in response to a call given by the PMK leadership for a State-wide protest to highlight the demand.
