By Our Staff Reporter
CUDDALORE, DEC. 6. Hundreds of volunteers of the Tamizhaga Muslim Muneetra Kazhagam today took out a procession in Cuddalore and Villupuram on the occasion of the nineth anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid.
The volunteers, who included women in good strength, came by vans from various parts of the districts.
The procession was started from the Beach Road and reached to the Head Post Office here where the members staged a dharna for about an hour protesting the demolition of the Masjid.
Addressing the volunteers, Mr. S.M. Bakker, State treasurer of the TMMK, said the BJP-led Government at the Centre was a ``promoter of fanaticism and communalism''. In Villupuram, Mr. Hyder Ali, State General Secretary, led the processionists who walked down through the thoroughfares from the Railway Junction.
