DMK Minister reacts to actor Vijay's explosive remarks on politics and parties, stating that while they respect his opinion, the DMK will not be intimidated by anyone.
DMK will not be afraid of Vijay, T.N. Tourism and Development Minister Ma. Subramanian said on Saturday, reacting to remarks made by actor Vijay a day earlier in Karaikudi about the politics and parties of the state. The minister's response came after the star's comments caused a ripple effect across the Tamil film industry and politics.
"Everyone has the freedom to express their opinion. It is commendable that Vijay expressed his thoughts on politics and the situation in the state," said Subramanian, as reported by The New Indian Express.
"Such bold statements from a popular celebrity will create a buzz, but the DMK will not be afraid of anyone. We have already witnessed such tactics during the dictatorship. We have learned a lesson from it and will not be intimidated by anyone," the minister added.
The statement is a clear indication that the DMK is not concerned about the potential impact of Vijay's comments, who is a hugely popular actor, on their political stance.
Vijay, who is often referred to as Thalapathy (meaning commander) by his fans, attended a event in Karaikudi on Friday to promote his upcoming film, which is set to be released on April 14. During the event, the actor took the opportunity to express his thoughts on the current political situation in the state.
While he did not mention any specific political party, the actor stated that he believed the time had come for a change in the state's leadership to address the ongoing issues, including corruption and the mismanagement of resources.
His remarks have since gone viral on social media, with many speculating about the actor's intentions and potential political aspirations.
However, despite the buzz surrounding Vijay's comments, the DMK minister's statement makes it clear that the party is not intimidated or concerned about the potential impact of the actor's remarks.
Only time will tell if Vijay's unexpected commentary will have any lasting impact on the state's politics or if he intends to take any future actions to bring about the change he has alluded to.
