In a recent development, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) ally Thol Thirumavalavan has claimed that the decision to provide ‘Y’ category security to popular Tamil actor Vijay was influenced by threats from Muslim extremist groups. This statement has sparked controversy and drawn sharp responses from various quarters. The actor, also known as Thalapathy Vijay, received ‘Y’ category security following a recommendation by the Tamil Nadu government, citing a perceived threat to his life. However, Thirumavalavan, the leader of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), alleged that the security cover was granted due to pressure from Muslim organizations. In response, Thirumavalavan’s party colleague D Ravikumar defended the actor and rebutted the claims, stating that Vijay had not requested any security and that the decision was solely based on intelligence reports. The actor’s fans and supporters have also come out in his defense, expressing their solidarity on social media platforms. The controversy has brought attention to the intersection of politics, security, and entertainment in Tamil Nadu. Vijay, one of the most popular actors in the Tamil film industry, has a massive fan following and is known for his socially conscious roles in movies. The differing narratives surrounding the security issue have added a new dimension to the ongoing political discourse in the state. As the debate continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the involved parties will address and resolve the conflicting claims.
