Following the stampede at a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally in Karur that claimed 41 lives, foreign embassies have reportedly expressed interest in meeting actor and party leader Vijay.
According to sources cited in a recent report by Dinamalar, ambassadors from several countries have written to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar seeking permission to hold discussions with the TVK chief. India has around 85 embassies, and many of them routinely send political reports to their respective governments, particularly ahead of major elections.
Officials said foreign envoys are keen to understand the political direction and policies of the newly formed TVK, which has emerged as a significant force in Tamil Nadu politics. Senior diplomats, including those from the United States consulate in Chennai, are said to have already submitted preliminary reports on Vijay’s political activities.
Under protocol, ambassadors and senior embassy officials are required to obtain prior approval from the Ministry of External Affairs before meeting political leaders, ministers, or other prominent public figures. The ministry has reportedly granted permission for such meetings, and diplomatic sources in Delhi indicated that interactions between Vijay and foreign representatives may take place soon.
