Madurai: A petitioner, I Mohammed Razvi, has moved the Madras High Court seeking action against some political parties in Tamilnadu.
He alleged the parties mentioned in his petition were responsible for flying black balloons to protest Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit here last month.
Razvi said that such demonstrations against the visit of the prime minister were unbecoming and against the interest of the nation and its people.
A division bench of the Court’s Madurai bench, comprising Justice N Kirubakran and Justice S S Sundar, directed Razvi to implead the parties.
Narendra Modi arrived in Madurai to take part in the foundation stone laying ceremony for the AIIMS hospital by a special aircraft on 27 January. Many people staged a black flag demonstration against Modi shortly before he arrived here, accusing him of betraying the interests of Tamilnadu. Releasing black baloons, the protesting party cadres raised slogans against Modi alleging that he betrayed the interests of Tamilnadu on Cauvery and other issues.
