PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has urged the Tamil Nadu government to provide state jobs to the families of those killed during the 1987 Vanniyar reservation agitation. He argues that this compensation should be extended to all victims of past political unrest, similar to recent relief provided to other groups.
