Indu Makkal Katchi leader Arjun Sampath has strongly criticized actor Joseph Vijay and the DMK government, claiming that the recent Karur incident, which led to the deaths of forty fans, reflects negligence and selfish interests. Speaking in Madurai, Sampath said, “Just as they brought Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam under control, the DMK will bring Vijay under their control using the Karur incident. Joseph Vijay is the future Kamal Haasan; the future Makkal Needhi Maiam is the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.”
Regarding the Thirupparankundram Hill case in Madurai district, Sampath, along with lawyer Ramakrishnan, welcomed the recent verdict. “The victory in the verdict regarding the Thirupparankundram Hill is a victory for Murugan. A victory for Murugan devotees. Muslim elders have said that a religious harmony verdict has been reached in this regard,” they said.
The leaders emphasized that goats and chickens should not be sacrificed on Thirupparankundram Hill. They added that it is inappropriate for individuals to personally criticize Judge Srimathi for the verdict, noting that the entire hill is considered a sacred linga. People traditionally circumambulate the hill. Sampath also noted that the opposing party, even if it appeals, has historical evidence supporting their claims.
Speaking further on the Karur tragedy, Sampath accused Joseph Vijay of failing to take responsibility for the deaths of forty fans. “It is shameful that Vijay made fans protect him in Karur for his own selfish interests. He is the reason for the loss of forty lives. The TMC has a fan club mentality; the crowd gathers and the people wait,” he said. He questioned whether Vijay should feel guilty for the loss of lives and blamed the ruling party for not banning him during his visit.
Sampath also called for accountability from the government. “The DMK government should be dismissed for failing to save people’s lives. Vijay, who was responsible for the Karur tragedy, should be arrested and the TMC party should be banned. The CBI should conduct an investigation and the culprits should be punished,” he said.
He warned the public against being deceived by Vijay, drawing parallels with Kamal Haasan. “The people of Tamil Nadu will ignore Vijay, who is another Kamal deceiving the people. Just as the DMK pulled Kamal Haasan to their side and brought the Makkal Needhi Maiam under control, they will also bring Vijay under their control by using the Karur incident,” Sampath stated.
Finally, he revealed plans to organize a Shiva devotees’ conference in Tiruvannamalai, modeled after the Madurai Muruga devotees’ conference.
