Gandhi was in Chennai on August 8 to pay homage to Karunanidhi at the Rajaji Hall, where his body lay in state.

"Police allowed the general public to use the special entrance earmarked for VIPs after the visit of PM Narendra Modi and it led to tension," TN Congress Committee president Thirunavukkarasar said. Gandhi, who is a special protection group protectee, faced trouble for about 30mins as he was caught in the multitude of people as police didn't ensure a protected pathway for him, Thirunavukkarasar said.

Similar was the situation when the Congress chief was on his way out of the hall and he had to even wade through slush, the state unit chief alleged. He sought appropriate action against police officers responsible for providing security at the Rajaji Hall. "I believe that only such action will avert such lapses in future," Thirunavukkarasar added.
