The DMK is not impressed.
In a sharply critical editorial in the DMK’s official mouthpiece, Murasoli, the party has questioned the two – Vijay and Trisha – exchanging salutes and the seating arrangement for the actor during the official programme.
It’s such a person who thinks he can justify such vulgarity and disgust by doing it openly and blatantly, has today come as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu,” the editorial, published today, which does not name the actor said. Actor Trisha Krishnan, the rumoured girlfriend of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay, seated in the first row during the Independence Day celebrations at Fort St George has not gone down well with the principal Opposition party. In a sharply critical editorial in the DMK’s official mouthpiece, Murasoli, the party has questioned the two – Vijay and Trisha – exchanging salutes and the seating arrangement for the actor during the official programme. In videos that have since gone viral, the actor is seen saluting the Chief Minister as he passed by while performing his official duties at the ceremony. “The dignity of Chief Minister Vijay, who hoisted the flag on Independence Day, flew in the air. Even people who voted for him could not stomach the sight of him, without any shame or embarrassment, making an actor sit in the front row and both saluting each other. “His own speech has exposed this fear. Only then will I be able to implement all the good schemes meant for you. He has been crying and pleading this way,” the ediotrial claimed. I pay my respects to each and every freedom fighter who sacrificed their lives for our independence. That is what our government is working towards.
I sincerely thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to hoist the national flag on the 80th Independence Day at this 376-year-old fort and deliver the Independence Day message.”
After hoisting the flag, Chief Minister Vijay said: “Don’t think our duty is over and you can withdraw…From now only, you must remain with us and with the government. Addressing the Independence Day celebrations, Vijay, the first-time Chief Minister, said, “My warm Independence Day greetings to everyone. Speaking about his government’s priorities, Vijay said, “It is our duty to protect Tamil Nadu from bribery and corruption.
