The event featuring Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay in London was abruptly canceled by police, citing safety concerns. This decision disappointed many fans who had been waiting in line for hours to see the chief minister.
Safety Concerns Halt Program Amid Fan Anticipation
A member of the chief minister’s team announced that the scheduled program has been canceled due to safety concerns, stating, “For public safety concerns, we are calling off the programme because we don’t have permission due to safety concerns.”
Meanwhile, a young fan expressed disappointment over the cancellation, noting the long wait outside the actor-turned-politician’s hotel. “I think it’s reasonable but all of these people have been waiting. This is hardly the kind of crowds we see in Tamil Nadu,” the fan remarked, as reported by the news agency PTI.
“We would be filled with love and heartfelt enthusiasm to meet the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru C Joseph Vijay. The IT wing of Vijay’s TVK also confirmed the cancellation, saying that while party workers and supporters were eager to meet CM Vijay, the meeting could not go ahead due to safety concerns and a request from the London Metropolitan Police.
However, keeping the safety of the public in mind and considering the request of the London Metropolitan Police, an unavoidable situation has arisen where the Chief Minister and Victorious Leader cannot meet with you,” it said in a post on X. The Tamil Nadu government has assured the company of all necessary support and cooperation to facilitate the investment and establish its operations successfully in the state, according to a government release.
