Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi President Thol Thirumavalavan rejected demands for actor-politician Vijay's arrest following the stampede that claimed 41 lives on Sept. 27 in Karur. Tamil Nadu authorities appointed retired High Court judge Aruna Jagadeesan to lead a judicial probe, and Vijay remains unnamed in the police report. Thirumavalavan accused BJP leaders of exploiting the tragedy for political gain before investigations concluded. He urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to counter what he described as divisive tactics by sending an all-India fact-finding team to Tamil Nadu.

The stampede occurred when crowds surged forward at a Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam rally amid power failures, and eight children were among the dead. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin pledged stricter safety measures for public events after the commission completes its work. Vijay announced 2 million rupees for each affected family, and more than 50 injured people remain hospitalized.
