00:00Good afternoon and welcome to India Today. I'm Anjali Ishtiwal.
00:09Let's begin this bulletin with a big breaking news coming in from Tamil Nadu right now.
00:13It seems that TVK party has cancelled all their programs for the next two weeks.
00:21This is of course a fallout of the stampede that had happened in Karoor and 41 people had died in it.
00:29And now it seems that the party has decided not to go ahead with any campaign programs for the next two weeks.
00:36So Vijay shall not be holding any rallies, any meetings or any campaigning activities for the next two weeks.
00:43Let's listen to what TVK chief Vijay had said earlier when he had given his first statement, first video statement yesterday.
00:53Yeah, lifeline, we were a painful man over the situation and I faced it.
00:59He said that the person had to be a mother.
01:03He was a matter of their own personality.
01:04He told me he was a man.
01:07After a young age, I was a mother.
01:13A woman told me that he was a man.
01:14A woman told him my life was a man.
01:16He told me that's a man and a man said,
01:20He told me that's he taught him.
01:21I'm going to die.
01:24In this case, I'm going to talk to you about the stories of the people who talked to me.
01:36I'm going to tell you about the numbers and the numbers.
01:42I'm going to tell you about the numbers.
01:48You can't do anything at all.
01:50You can't do anything like that.
01:53Where is it?
01:57There's nothing to do with mankind.
02:03You can see all the world around us.
02:08I told you that,
02:12you're going to stop a little..
02:18And joining us now is India Today's Pramod Madhav.
02:29Pramod, do tell us what is TVK planning now?
02:32Because earlier Vijay had said that he would be going to Tirupati
02:36and he wanted peace and it seems now they have decided
02:40for at least two weeks they will not be holding any rallies.
02:43So they have said it is a temporary suspension
02:46but is it a possibility that it could be extended later as well?
02:53Well, Anjali, they had planned,
02:55Tamiragavitchi Karagam has planned in such a manner
02:57that they wanted to conduct all the campaigns on Saturdays,
03:00every consecutive Saturday for the past two, three weeks.
03:02They were coming up two months at least to make sure that,
03:05Vijay said that this was decided to make sure
03:08that it will be conducted on a holiday
03:09but there won't be any problem for the public.
03:11But unfortunately, a major problem, a major tragedy occurred
03:15over 41 people died in Karoor
03:17and this is the reason now TVK has decided to go on ahead
03:21and postpone the rally campaigns for the next two weeks.
03:24Which means they're coming up Saturday
03:25which is supposed to be in Rani, Peta and Villur
03:27and the next week as well.
03:29So this will be rescheduled once again
03:30post the issues they are facing in the court as well
03:33because two of the major leaders of Tamiragavitchi Karagam,
03:36that is Bussi Anand and CTR Nirmakumar,
03:39there are affairs against them.
03:41They are named as accused number two and accused number three
03:44in what happened in Karoor.
03:45So they have to face the court,
03:47they have to face the charges as well
03:48and another R.A.J. is also facing cases right now.
03:52That's the reason such a decision has been taken, I see.
03:54Thank you Pramodh for all those details.
03:56Thank you Pramodh.
