The legal wing of the AIADMK held a demonstration in Chennai today, protesting against the presence of a Sri Lankan government official at a conference in India.
The protesters said that Deputy Director of Sri Lankan Agricultural Ministry, Chandrasiri, was at the event, despite Indian police officers alleging that no Sri Lankans were present.
Led by R Sivasankar, the lawyers chanted slogans condemning Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and a recent derogatory article on the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defence website about Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
