SC Rejects DMK Plea, Vijay to Visit Karur After 2025 Stampede
The article suggests potential abuse of power by ignoring a Supreme Court setback.
Vijay, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, is scheduled to visit Karur on Friday, marking his first trip since becoming Chief Minister. The visit comes after the Supreme Court refused to intervene in a DMK appeal seeking restrictions on his speeches and public engagements related to the 2025 stampede that claimed 41 lives. The visit carries significant political weight as it follows accusations from the TVK, a political rival, of negligence by Vijay's party and allegations of attempts to influence witnesses in the ongoing CBI investigation. The DMK had sought to prevent potential political attacks during the visit.
