Periyarist organisations and pro-Tamil groups have decided to boycott the ‘Mullivaikkal Genocide’ memorial meeting and panel discussion scheduled here for May 14 in protest against the organiser’s decision to invite BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai to the event.
The Dravidar Viduthalai Kazhagam, the May 17 Movement and the Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam have announced their decision to boycott the meeting, in which representatives of the DMK, the AIADMK, the BJP, the PMK, the VCK, the MDMK, the SDPI, the TVK, the Tamil Nadu Kongu Ilaignar Peravai, the AMMK and a few other student and political organisations are expected to take part.
