TRICHY: Condemning the caste discrimination against dalits at Vengaivayal hamlet in Pudukottai district, Makkal Needhi Maiam has demanded that the government act tough against untouchability and call the perpetrators anti-social elements.

MNM labourer welfare wing secretary S A Ponnusamy appreciated the Pudukottai collector and SP for leading the dalits to enter the temple by breaking generations-old restrictions.

However, the party expressed its displeasure over the government’s failure to put an end to deep-rooted discrimination in the 50-year rule of parties in the state. He said the present government cannot credit themselves for the latest action because untouchability still prevails.
