The police arrested 22 functionaries of Naam Thamizhar party as they staged a demonstration in front of the post office in Tenkasi on Tuesday without police permission.
The party had announced that its functionaries would block rail traffic in Tenkasi on Tuesday in protest against the Centre’s appeal before the Supreme Court against the State Government’s decision to release seven persons convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. However, the agitation was modified into a demonstration for which the police had not given permission.
When the protestors tried to stage demonstration in front of the post office in Tenkasi, the police arrested the agitators, who were released in the evening.
