**PMK Protests Alleged Caste Discrimination and False Charges in Krishnagiri**
Members of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) staged a protest outside the Krishnagiri Collectorate on Wednesday, alleging discrimination against the Vanniyar community by members of the Kongu Vellalar Gounder community. Protesters claim the Vanniyar community has been denied the right to worship at the Mandu Mariamman temple in Sikkapoovathi panchayat, despite a court order mandating access for all.
The PMK also alleges that over 35 Vanniyar men have been falsely accused under the Prevention of Atrocities Act, accused of destroying an ancient temple worshipped by Adi Dravidars. The protesters assert that the land in question was simply cleared of garbage and that no such temple existed. They maintain that the charges are a deliberate attempt to create discord between the Vanniyar and Adi Dravidar communities, who have historically lived peacefully together.
