Thirty-two BJP workers were today arrested here when they attempted to stage black flag demonstration against Union Minister V Narayanasamy, police said.
The BJP workers were protesting against the Centre for "not taking steps" to stop attacks on Karaikal fishermen, allegedly by the Sri Lankan navy.
The protesters had gathered at Varichikudi to stage the demonstration but police arrested them just before the convoy of the Minister of State in the PMO was to pass through.
Narayanasamy was here in connection with a party function.
