Actor-turned-politician Vijay, in a video message, stated that he was completely shattered after the stampede in Karur that killed 40. He further stated that he did not visit the affected site again to ensure that a similar situation was not repeated. Vijay further stated that the state government framed his close friends and senior party members even though they did nothing wrong after the stampede. The TVK chief further suggested the Chief Minister MK Stalin take action against him if he sought "revenge".
“I have not faced a painful situation like this in my life. My heart aches. Only pain in my heart. People came to see me in the campaign. I am always grateful to the love and affection people have on me. In order to ensure there should be no compromise on safety of people, I kept politics aside and chose a place that was safe for the people and requested the police department. But what should not have happened, happened,” Vijay stated in his video message.

“I am also a human. When so many were affected, how can I leave those people and come back? I didn't go because I wanted to make sure no untoward incident happens again,” he added. He further stated that no similar incident happened in any of his previous rallies, further stating that the locals know the whole truth. “We campaigned in five districts, so why did this happen in Karur? How did this occur? People know the truth and they are watching everything,” he said.
Vijay further stated that the state government framed his party members even after they cooperated in the probe and did nothing wrong. “When the people of Karur spoke the truth, I felt as if God had come to me and revealed it. Soon, all the truths will be revealed. We spoke from the spot that was given to us,” Vijay stated. “We did not do anything wrong beyond that. We did not do anything wrong. Yet party leaders, friends, and social media users are being named in FIRs,” he added.
