“I did not do any wrong; my political journey will continue with renewed vigour,” Vijay said.
The police have arrested a few TVK party members over lapses resulting in the stampede. “You may do anything to me, I will be at my home or office,” said Vijay, hinting that he is ready to face action.
Vijay said he hasn’t visited the affected persons so far, as his presence there would lead to an “unusual situation.” He added that he has never faced such a “painful situation” in his life. “I didn’t visit Karur as it would lead to an unusual situation. I will meet you (families of victims, the injured) soon,” he said in a video message posted on his social media page.
Seeking to take on the ruling DMK over the matter, he said, “CM sir, if you have a thought of seeking vengeance, you may do anything to me and not touch the party men.” On the day of the incident, he left Karur hastily, considering people’s safety, he claimed.
