TN CM Vijay to inspect Silverstone infrastructure; flag off Ajith's race in Le Mans Cup

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 12 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, C. Joseph Vijay, will meet actor and motor racing enthusiast Ajith Kumar at the Silverstone circuit on Saturday before flagging off the Michelin Le Mans Cup car race. The Chief Minister will also inspect the infrastructure at Silverstone, one of the worlds most renowned motor racing venues. He is expected to examine its racetrack, safety arrangements, spectator facilities and commercial model for hosting international competitions. Ajith will compete in the race alongside several leading Indian drivers. The event will begin at 9.45 p.m. Indian time and conclude at 11.45 p.m. CM Vijays participation is a major engagement during his six-day official visit to the United Kingdom. The visit assumes significance as CM Vijay has announced in the Tamil Nadu Assembly that his government will establish a world-class motorsports city in the State. Officials hope the Silverstone inspection will provide useful inputs for developing the proposed facility. CM Vijay is also expected to explore opportunities for attracting investments in motorsports, sports tourism, automobile technology, racing equipment and event management. The government believes the proposed motorsports city could generate employment and help position Tamil Nadu as an international destination for racing events. CM Vijay left Chennai aboard an Emirates flight at 10 p.m. on September 10 and travelled to London through Dubai. He arrived at Heathrow Airport at 7 a.m. local time on Friday, corresponding to 11.30 a.m. in India. British Tamil Sangam president Jacob Ravipalan, TVK functionary Duraikannan and members of the Tamil community welcomed him at the airport with bouquets. The Chief Minister later proceeded to the hotel in the London Bridge area where he will stay during his visit. The wider objective of CM Vijays visit is to attract industrial investment and create high-quality employment in Tamil Nadu. He will hold discussions with senior executives and business leaders representing advanced manufacturing, automobiles, Electric Vehicles, electronics and global capability centres. CM Vijay is scheduled to meet several business leaders on Sunday as part of the investment promotion programme and present Tamil Nadus industrial infrastructure, skilled workforce and policy support to potential investors.

Congress questions NC govts stand on Vande Mataram

Srinagar, Sept 11: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Friday hit back at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over his remarks on the Vande Mataram controversy, saying the CMs response was detached from reality and that the issue was about the conduct of the government, not the people. Reacting to Omar Abdullahs comments, Karra wrote on X, that expectations had been directed clearly and exclusively towards the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and questioned why the people of J&K had been brought into the debate. The public has nothing to do with this debate. It is the government that is expected to stand upright, Karra said, arguing that the controversy should not be shifted from the government to the people. He said the CMs remarks raised two questions, including whether any person in Kerala had been jailed when the state government chose to sing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram at an Independence Day parade. Karra also questioned whether people were wrong in expecting the J&K Chief Minister to uphold what he described as secular and inclusive values, citing the examples of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana, where he said state events had limited the rendition to the first two stanzas. Are we wrong to expect our Honble CM to be equally capable of standing up for secular and inclusive values? Karra asked. Taking his argument further, the PCC chief brought the recently concluded International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir into the controversy, rejecting what he termed an attempt to dilute the responsibility of the government by referring to who was or was not present at the event. Karra said IFFJK 2026, titled Rang-e-Cinema, was a state event jointly organised by the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR), J&K, and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), and was inaugurated by Omar Abdullah himself. Who else was or wasnt present is irrelevanta superfluous detail meant only to distract from the core issue, he said. The PCC chief maintained that the central question was not about the attendance of individuals but about the position taken by the government at an official event. His remarks come amid a political debate over the rendition of Vande Mataram at the IFFJK inaugural event, with opposition parties questioning the governments handling of the matter and seeking clarity on the decision. Karra said the government could not evade scrutiny by invoking the presence or absence of members of the public, insisting that accountability for a state-organised event rested with the administration.
