Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay’s event was cancelled in London, after police cited safety concerns. The cancellation left many fans, some of whom had queued for hours, disappointed.
This is hardly the kind of crowds we see in Tamil Nadu,” said a young fan who had been camped at the actor-turned-politician’s hotel for hours, news agency PTI reported. “I think it’s reasonable but all of these people have been waiting.
“For public safety concerns, we are calling off the programme because we don’t have permission due to safety concerns,” a member of the chief minister’s team announced over a loudspeaker.
“We would be filled with love and heartfelt enthusiasm to meet the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru C Joseph Vijay.
However, keeping the safety of the public in mind and considering the request of the London Metropolitan Police, an unavoidable situation has arisen where the Chief Minister and Victorious Leader cannot meet with you,” it said in a post on X. The Tamil Nadu government has assured the company of all necessary support and cooperation to facilitate the investment and establish its operations successfully in the state, according to a government release.
Opposition criticise UK visit
“The news released through newspapers reported that the chief minister (C Joseph Vijay) had gone to London to attract business investments. AIADMK general secretary and former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami questioned the absence of details about investments during Vijay’s visit. However, so far no news regarding attracting investments has emerged. No photographs has surfaced showing him participating in a meeting meant for attracting investments. “Instead, photographs of a specific event he attended have come out.
That is the actual news,” Palaniswami said.
