The AIADMK sought and received permission from the Corporation to garland the statue between 8 and 9 am. When AMMK cadres came to do the honours they were turned away as they lacked permission. However, it was a different case when DMK cadres lead by MLAs P Karthikeyan and AP Nandakumar arrived. They showed no permission letter, but climbed the pedestal, yanked open the closed metal gate, threw the lock away and garlanded the statue before leaving.
