Chennai sources have stated that following the protest by Thamizhar Munetra Padai (TMP) against Rajinikanth's probable entry in politics, many supporters of the superstar took to the streets in Washermanpet to support him and their demonstration was a counter protest in response to yesterday's protest by certain groups against the Tamil actor.
It was stated that the TMP headed by their leader Veeralakshmi took out a rally towards the Poes Garden residence of actor Rajinikanth condemning his alleged move to enter politics.
It was stated that they have raised slogans against the actor claiming
that they did not want an actor, who came to Tamil Nadu from Karnataka to rule
them and the police then stopped them on the Cathedral Road, less than a kilometer
from the actor's residence.
Sources have also added that the protestors burnt the effigy of the actor when they were stopped by the police on the Cathedral Road where the city police detained at least 30 members of the TMP. Currently, the police have beefed up security at Rajinikanth's house.
