Coimbatore: The Periyanaickenpalayam police arrested as many as 300 members of Hindu outfits who were planning to block the chief minister’s convoy on Mettupalayam Road on Sunday.
Members of Hindu Munnani, Vishva Hindu Parishad and BJP had been staging a protest on the Aathiparasakthi temple premises for the last two days demanding the district administration to shift a mosque that was set up near the Om Sakthi Temple last November, police sources said.
National highways authorities had demolished Sunnath Jamath and the Velmurugan Mangala Vinayagar Temple that were built on its lands at Press Colony at Periyanaickenpalayam last November, to develop the road. Jamath authorities soon set up another mosque 25 metres away from the Om Sakthi Temple at Press Colony, much to the chagrin of Hindu outfits, who launched a protest.
