Vaiko arrested [October 23 2008]

The rabble rouser of South Indian politics Gopalaswamy Vaiko was on Thursday arrested for making "highly inflammatory speeches in support of the LTTE", police said.

This is the second time that MDMK chief has been arrested for supporting the banned group. Vaiko is a non-Tamil migrant from another state who thrives on Tamil racism in the state of Tamil Nadu. He heads a breakaway group of the DMK, Marumalarchi Thiravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK).
