MDMK workers protest against alleged attack on DMK's Vaiko

Around 60 MDMK workers recently staged a demonstration in Coimbatore 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.

On Sunday, 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.
