CM Vijay Holds Emergency Meeting with TVK Leaders

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president C. Joseph Vijay has called an emergency meeting of the party’s MLAs in Chennai on November 11 amid growing criticism over allegations of misconduct against some legislators. The meeting, scheduled to be held at the party headquarters in Panaiyur, is expected to focus on maintaining discipline, ensuring responsible public behaviour and addressing citizens’ grievances. Vijay is likely to instruct party representatives not to misuse their authority and to act with restraint while dealing with the public. The move comes after controversies involving certain TVK legislators triggered criticism from opposition parties and raised questions about the ruling party’s internal discipline.

Meanwhile, DMK president M.K. Stalin has strongly criticised the government over the law-and-order situation, claiming that Tamil Nadu’s security machinery is in the ICU and the administration is in a coma. He also referred to reports of 17 murders in a single day and allegations that a TVK MLA sent inappropriate messages to a woman district collector. The MLA concerned has denied the allegations, and the party is conducting an internal inquiry. AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran has also accused TVK functionaries of involvement in serious misconduct, including alleged harassment of schoolgirls, and criticised the party leadership for its response. These remain allegations, and the individuals concerned must be given an opportunity to respond to the claims.
