Disturbing eyewitness accounts related to the Karur stampede incident have emerged, with claims that unidentified individuals infiltrated the rally and that some miscreants allegedly used knives to injure attendees. These shocking revelations were presented to an eight-member National Democratic Alliance (NDA) parliamentary committee, constituted by BJP National President JP Nadda and headed by BJP MP Hema Malini.

On 30 September 2025, BJP Tamil Nadu President Nainar Nagendran, accompanied by senior leaders including K. Annamalai, met with the NDA panel to present their findings and testimonies related to the tragic incident.

During the meeting, Annamalai introduced a female eyewitness who had been present at the rally and gave a harrowing account of the chaos that unfolded.

Annamalai questioned her, asking, “How long did this issue last after Vijay came? Half an hour, one hour, 40 minutes. How long were the people in this commotion?”

The woman responded, “He spoke for only about four minutes. Before that, everyone here fainted and fell. I don’t know why they fainted. It’s because of the crammed. I don’t know why it became a crammed. But at the last entry, an ambulance came and stopped unnecessarily. The minute the ambulance stopped, there was a stampede. When the ambulance stopped there, they started to move us aside and when everyone started pushing it created a commotion.”

Further questioning by Annamalai followed: “For how long did this last? After you fell into the ditch, half an hour, one hour, how long?” The witness replied, “It would be one hour. Everyone fainted and fell, and the ambulance going away, it took one hour for all this to clear up.”

When asked, “Then when did Vijay leave?” she said, “Within four minutes, they knew there was a commotion here and started fainting. They threw about 10 bottles of water for them. Before they could get the water, the next minute he left. It’s not just that. It didn’t even take two seconds. The moment the current was cut, they moved.”

Annamalai then asked whether she felt outsiders were present among the crowd. The woman replied, “Sir, definitely there is.” She further explained, “Because we are normal people. Now there are so many of us, we are all normal. But it is clear that they were not normal. Because with a beard, a certain kind of face, they should be normal, right? They were not normal.”

A video of Bharatiya Janata Party Rajya Sabha MP, Hema Malini, was circulating on social media platform X.

Replying to this, self-styled fact-checker wrote, “Says BJP MP who converted to Islam just to marry his co-star because she could not have tied the knot as per the Hindu Marriage Act because Dharmendra was already married back then.”

Zubair did not realise that he hit a self-goal with this statement because it is his own community that indulges in polygamy and has necessitated this law to be passed.

Zubair’s response elicited hilarious reactions from netizens who ridiculed him for not realising what he just did there. Here are some reactions.

That's why UCC is the need of the hour !!!
