Karur Stampede Row: NDA Pushes For SC Probe, DMK Blames Vijay

The tragic stampede in Karur, Tamil Nadu, has triggered a fierce political battle. An NDA delegation, including MPs Anurag Thakur and Hema Malini, visited the site, questioning the limited space allocated for TVK chief Vijay’s rally. They demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe and a formal response from officials. DMK MP Kanimozhi attacked Vijay for allegedly leaving the site mid-crisis, calling it unbecoming of a leader. Tamil Nadu Minister Anbil Mahesh announced a judicial probe, while AIADMK and BJP hit out at the Stalin govt over the arrest of journalist Felix Gerald. Meanwhile, TVK’s Aadhav Arjuna courted controversy with a deleted post urging a “Gen Z protest,” drawing sharp criticism from DMK. As accusations fly, Karur remains the epicentre of Tamil Nadu’s political storm, with eyes on the judicial commission’s report.
