Anbumani to lead protest against DMK govt. in Chennai on Dec. 17

PMK president Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday announced that he would be leading the protest against the DMK government for its failure to conduct a caste-wise survey, implement internal reservations for Vanniyars within the Most Backward Classes category and to protect social justice in Chennai on December 17 while postponing the state-wide ‘siege of government offices and fill-the-jails’ protest, announced earlier, to January 29 next year.

Tamil Nadu should have been the first state in India to conduct a caste census. But while two south Indian states have completed it and a third is about to finish, Tamil Nadu remains firm in its stand that the caste census should never be conducted here, he said in a statement.
