Tamil actor Sathyaraj has expressed strong criticism against Thalapathy Vijay and his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), following the tragic Karur stampede, which claimed the lives of over 40 people, including children.
Sathyaraj’s Strong Remarks
The senior actor, known for his roles in films like Baahubali, stated:
“Those who make mistakes must take responsibility and correct them.”
Sathyaraj emphasized the importance of rectifying errors, whether intentional or unintentional:
“Mistakes often happen without one’s knowledge. But a wrong done knowingly is different. Those who commit errors must try to correct them. They must make sure not to repeat them. If it’s a minor mistake, it should still be rectified. And if it was unintentional, they must ensure it doesn’t happen again. Tch!”
He concluded his comments with “Che!”, expressing disgust at the negligence that led to the tragedy.
