Seven Dalits injured in attack

D. Karthikeyan

MADURAI: Seven Dalits, including a 55-year-old woman, were injured in
an attack, allegedly by caste Hindus, over a temple entry row in
Uluthimadai village in Virudhunagar district. A group of Dalits, led
by Muthupandi, union secretary, Vidhuthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, had
gone to the Muniappaswamy temple on January 15.

They were denied entry by a priest. This led to a wordy duel between
the priest and Muthupandi. When the Dalits tried to enter, they were
attacked with sickles and wooden logs. Panchammal and six others were
injured and are undergoing treatment.
