Mullaperiyar: DMDK to hold demonstration on Wednesday


Monday, December 12, 2011: Actor politician Vijaykanth has said his DMDK party would stage a demonstration at Theni on December 14 protesting against the Centre remaining a “mute spectator” to the controversial Mullaperiyar dam issue.
“The Centre is remaining a mere spectator, while tension is building up on both sides (Tamil Nadu and Kerala) over the Mullaperiyar issue. A team authorised by the Supreme Court will arrive to check the dam’s safety on December 23,” Vijaykant said in a statement.
Stating that Mullaperiyar dam is a symbol of Indian integration, he alleged that the Centre was remaining a mute spectator while enmity is developing between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Theni is one of the five districts in Tamil Nadu that receives water from the Mullaperiyar dam.
