Tension in Madurai as BJP office ransacked, PM portraits damaged

Madurai, Jan 10 (UNI) In a shocking incident, the BJP's rural
district office in Madurai city was ransacked by an unidentified
gang at Melamadai locality on Sunday evening, resulting in high
tension.
Police said, the gang armed with wooden logs barged into the
office, went to the first floor and ransacked it.
The gang also damaged the portraits of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, BJP State President L Murugan and also plastic chairs
and furnitures.
As the new spread, a large number of BJP men assembled in
front of the office and staged a road roko agitation on the busy
Sivaganga road demanding the immediate arrest of the culprits.
Madurai City Deputy Commissioner R Shiva Prasad visited the
BJP office and held inquiries.
A large number of police personnel were deployed at Melamadai
as the situation remained tense.
Police also stepped up patrolling in sensitive areas to prevent
any backlash.
Police have collected CCTV footages to trace the gang.
The attack on BJP office took place hours after Mr Murugan was
denied entry in a route where a place of worship was located at
Thirupalai.
Mr.Murugan was going on a procession to participate in “Namma
Ooru Pongal” event organized by the party as part of the State-wide
Pongal (the traditional harvest festival of Tamil Nadu) celebrations.
Even as the police held talks with the people belonging to that
community, a stone and a footwear was hurled into the crowd, in
which a car belonging to a BJP member was reportedly damaged.
Police held talks with the protesters and ensured that the procession
continued through the other route.
Police were investigating whether the attack of the BJP was a sequel
to this incident.
