PMK MLA's Car Attacked in Tamil Nadu Amid Party Feud
Imagine a political party in India called the PMK, which has a bit of a disagreement inside it.
Two groups within the party are fighting to be in charge.
Recently, a car that belonged to one of the important people in the party, an MLA named Arul, was attacked.
People threw stones and hit the car with sticks.
The police think this fight happened because of the disagreement inside the party.
The MLA said it was a serious attack and blamed another group within his own party.
This happened while some other politicians were already criticizing the state's safety.
No one got hurt, but it shows there's tension within the PMK.
A car believed to be that of PMK MLA R Arul was attacked in Tamil Nadu's Salem district.
The incident involved two groups throwing stones and brandishing logs at each other.
Police suspect the attack stemmed from a factional split within the PMK.
MLA R Arul called it an 'attempt on my life' and accused a rival PMK faction.
No injuries were reported, and only the MLA's car was targeted.
