Tamil Nadu police have arrested the controversial Tamil orator belonging to the Congress, Nellai Kannan, for his provocative speech made at an event last week.
The police picked up Nellai Kannan from the hotel in Perambalur on Wednesday.
The arrest came hours after Chennai police detained former Union Minister Pon Radhakrishan, senior BJP leader La Ganesan, party National Secretary H. Raja, and former state party chief C.P. Radhakrishnan for protesting here demanding the arrest of Nellai Kannan.
