A Child's Death, A Mother's Cry: The Human Cost of Vijay's Karur Rally
The Karur rally stampede that claimed 39 lives, including 8 children and 16 women, has become a national tragedy and a stark reminder of how public safety is often neglected in high-profile political events. Shocking images from the site show grieving families - a father with his lifeless child, a mother unable to let go of her son - turning this event into a symbol of VIP entitlement, criminal negligence, and delayed accountability.
Actor-politician Vijay has been criticized for his silence and lack of timely empathy, with many accusing his party, TVK, of poor planning and ignoring police protocols. The tragedy has raised urgent questions about crowd control, event clearance protocols, and the value of ordinary lives in the face of political spectacle.
