CPI(M) Expresses Shock and Sorrow Over the Tragic Stampede in Karur, Tamil Nadu
CPI(M) Polit Bureau has issued the following statement on September 28, 2025.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses deep shock and sorrow at the tragic loss of 39 innocent lives in a stampede during a political rally organised by the TVK Party, led by its founder and film actor Vijay, in Karur, Tamil Nadu. Scores of people were also injured in the stampede.
It is unfortunate that people who had gathered in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the film star lost their lives due to the chaos and mismanagement at the venue by the organisers and the local authorities.
