Ninety-one people were arrested in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu on Saturday as they held a black flag protest condemning the Congress party's failure to safeguard Tamils in Sri Lanka as the armed conflict ended in 2009.
The protesters, members of the Thanthai Periyar Dravida Kazhakam (TPDK) held the demonstration hours before the Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi was due to visit an election rally.
The protesters accused the Congress party of being a "mute spectator" as thousands of Tamils were killed by the Sri Lankan government "in the guise of eliminating the LTTE", reported NDTV.
