MADURAI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) cadres, led by the party MP, P. Mohan, staged a road roko at Simmakkal on Friday afternoon protesting against the damage to party flags caused by a former Corporation councillor, Ganesan. The flags were tied around the statue of freedom fighter, V.O. Chidambaram, where the MP. along with Madurai East MLA, N. Nanmaran, and party leader, P. Sampath, had paid respects in the morning, on the occasion of the freedom fighter’s birth anniversary. Later, on hearing that the flags had been removed, the party leaders rushed to Simmakkal and blocked vehicular traffic demanding arrest of the accused. “The flags were disrespected in the presence of police personnel. This is the second time our party flag has been damaged in the city,” Mr. Mohan charged. Stones were pelted at the protestors forcing the police to chase them away. Later, Mr. Ganesan was arrested and let on bail, the police said. The CPI (M) will organise a demonstration in the city on Saturday to condemn the incident.
