AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami has accused the Tamil Nadu government of failing to protect citizens during the Karur stampede that killed 41 people. He questioned the government's decision to hold a press briefing while a Commission of Inquiry is already investigating the incident, suggesting this unusual approach indicates an attempt to shift blame and evade responsibility for the tragedy that occurred during actor-politician Vijay's political rally.
