The temple town of Madurai has always been at the centre of much political attention. It has been a favourite launching pad for Dravidian parties. Every big leader, past & present, made it a point to hold massive rallies in Madurai.

The fallouts were many - a months old section 144 order; Hindu vs. Muslim debate; demands of impeachment of a High Court judge and the inevitable bickering between the ruling DMK and those in the opposition.
