'Who Has Knowledge Hosts Knowledge Festivals': Udhayanidhi's Dig At TVK

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has sharply attacked actor Vijay and his newly formed party TVK, without naming them directly. Responding to criticism over the government's Knowledge Festival, he said a "newly emerged group" questioned how such an event could be organised. Udhayanidhi remarked that "those with knowledge conduct knowledge festivals," adding that this group is "allergic to knowledge" and behaves like "thieves scared of the police" when criticised. He also suggested the group lacks principles and gets uncomfortable when ideological issues are discussed.
