Madigas’ bid to obstruct PM’s convoy foiled Express News ServiceFirst Published : 02 Sep 2010 04:12:31 AM ISTLast Updated : TIRUPATI: Police resorted to a lathicharge to disperse a group of Madiga Students Federation (MSF) activists to prevent them from disrupting the Prime Minister’s convoy to Tirumala today. The students led by Chittaranjan, mingled with the public standing at the Town Club circle to have a glimpse of the Prime Minister. They suddenly hurled pamphlets at the motorcade and raised slogans in support of SC categorisation taking the police by surprise. The police resorted to lathicharge to disperse them. Some of the pamphlets landed on the vehicles in the convoy, which proceeded to Tirumala without any obstacle. Chittaranjan was taken into custody while others managed to gave the slip to the police. According to sources, the activists, including Chittaranjan, were mostly from Anantapur district and some from other places in Chittoor district. The Prime Minister entourage was on its way to Tirumala after he landed at the helipad on the Veterinary University grounds around 12:50 p.m. MRPS leader Giridhar Madiga urged the police to release the detained MSF activist and not file any cases against them. Police officials are tightlipped as to whether cases were registered or not. ------------------------------------ ---- INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
