Chennai : As Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam geared up for its first political conference, its founder and actor, Vijay, on Sunday told his party cadres that action should speak louder than words. In a letter to cadres on Sunday, Vijay said the job of TVK in the political sphere was not to deliver ornamental speeches. “As far as TVK is concerned, action is the political mother tongue,’’ he said. He also asked his cadres to take the message to the public that they were politically groomed. Vijay said TVK cadres should be an example for rest of the parties.
This is Vijay’s second letter to cadres ahead of the conference, intended to prepare the members of the fledgling party for a high profile political event at Vikravandi on Oct 27. He said the party does not approach politics through the prism of victory and defeat. “Let there be beautiful moments in the conference demonstrating our approach towards politics would a deep emotional and ideological celebration,” he said. In the letter, Vijay asked pregnant women, school students, people with ailments and senior citizens to avoid coming to the conference. Instead, he suggested they watch it on media and social media. “The long-distance travel could worsen your health. Being a member of your family, I request you watch it online,” Vijay said.
Meanwhile, TVK functionaries carried a 100 feet long TVK flag along with a poster of Vijay around the Murugan temple in Tiruttani, creating a flutter. Even after the temple authorities objected to carrying the flag of a political party along with the poster inside the temple, they did not stop. Subsequently, temple authorities informed the police. After the police arrived, the TVK functionaries argued with them but police warned them that a case would be filed against them for ‘unlawful assembly’ if they insist on carrying the flag in a procession. The TVK cadres dispersed after the warning
