To lodge their protest against fixing Rs.8 lakh as the minimum tax payable limit for upper caste poor, whereas for others
the taxable limit stood at Rs. 5 lakh, Thanthai Periyar Dravida Kazhagam (TPDK) activists will organhised a demonstration in front of the Income Tax office here on November 16.

When those earning rs.8 lakh were termed as poor (Economically Weaker Section), others earning Rs.5 lakh should be called the poorest, TPDK General Secretary, K.Ramakrishnan demanded at a press conference here on Friday. As per this logic, the income tax limit should be fixed at Rs.8 lakh for all, he said.

To protest against the discrimination and discrepancy in the Income Tax department, a massive demonstration will be held in front of the office of income tax on that day, Ramakrishnan said. The TPDK workers are likely to stage a demonstration in front of the Chennai IT office also on that day he said.
