VCK opposition clouds PMKs possible entry into TVK coalition

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 3 (IANS) Efforts by Tamil Nadus ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to strengthen its alliance ahead of the January local body elections have encountered resistance from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), amid speculation that the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) could join the coalition. The proposed expansion has exposed differences within the ruling alliance, with VCK leaders opposing the inclusion of the PMK and warning that such a move could prompt their withdrawal from the Cabinet. The Congress, VCK and Indian Union Muslim League have been given representation in the government led by Chief Minister Vijay. The MDMK supports the ruling formation, although its legislators have remained with the DMK. Parties previously associated with the DMK alliance subsequently came together under the TVKs leadership to form the Secular Social Justice Victory Alliance. With elections to local bodies scheduled for January next year, the TVK leadership is seeking to consolidate the coalition and improve its electoral prospects. Expanding the governments support in the Assembly is also understood to be among its objectives. Against this backdrop, confidential discussions have reportedly been held to bring the PMK into the alliance. However, neither a formal agreement nor an announcement confirming its entry has emerged. Speculation has centred on a possible ministerial position for Sowmya, the wife of PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss, who is described as an MLA in reports about the discussions. Vijay has reportedly expressed willingness to offer her a Cabinet berth. The reports have generated enthusiasm among PMK members, but Sowmya has dismissed the suggestion as a rumour. Ministers have avoided making categorical statements, leaving uncertainty over whether negotiations have progressed. Meanwhile, reports of a possible PMK entry have drawn objections from the VCK leadership. VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan and Minister Vanniarasu have reportedly warned that the party would leave the Cabinet if the PMK were admitted into the alliance. Their position presents a challenge to the TVKs efforts to broaden its political base while retaining its existing partners. The developments have placed the leadership in a difficult position as it weighs the potential benefits of PMK support against the risk of losing the VCKs participation in government. For now, the proposed expansion remains uncertain, with Sowmyas denial and the VCKs objections complicating efforts to secure a broader coalition before the local elections.

TVK leaders demand Stalins apology over alleged remarks against party candidate Sathyabama

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 3 (IANS) Remarks allegedly made by DMK president and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin, about TVK candidate Sathyabama during campaigning for the Dharapuram Assembly bypoll have drawn criticism from ministers Sengottaiyan and Arun Raj, who accused him of insulting women. Stalin campaigned in the constituency on Friday in support of DMK candidate Sukanya. During his address, he reportedly referred to derogatory nicknames used against Sathyabama, prompting objections from the TVK leadership. The controversy has added to the exchanges between the parties ahead of polling on October 6. The ministers argued that political campaigning should focus on issues affecting voters and should not descend into personal attacks against a woman candidate. In a post on X, Sengottaiyan questioned whether Stalins remarks could be considered election campaigning or amounted to an offensive attempt to ridicule women. He alleged that the comments reflected a pattern of disrespect towards women within the DMK. The minister also accused Stalin of adopting different positions according to political circumstances and questioned his statements on justice, honesty, caste and discrimination. He demanded an apology from the DMK leader for the remarks attributed to him. Sengottaiyans criticism centred on what he described as the use of insulting language against Sathyabama, rather than a debate over her political record or the issues facing Dharapuram voters. Arun Raj condemned the remarks in a post on X, saying Stalin had used humiliating words and mocked the TVK candidate while addressing a campaign programme in the constituency. Identifying Stalin as the DMK president and former Chief Minister, Arun Raj said the party strongly condemned what it regarded as an attack on Sathyabamas dignity. His statement echoed Sengottaiyans objection to the tone of the campaign speech. The objections from the two ministers brought the treatment of women candidates into the bypoll campaign debate, with both presenting Stalins alleged remarks as unacceptable political conduct. The supplied account does not include a response from Stalin or the DMK to the ministers criticism. It also does not provide a transcript of the speech, leaving the wording and context of the disputed remarks unclear. Sukanya and Sathyabama are contesting for the DMK and TVK respectively in Dharapuram, where the campaign has intensified ahead of Tuesdays vote, with rival parties seeking to mobilise support for their candidates.

Heavy rain forecast for Nilgiris, Coimbatore; showers likely across Tamil Nadu

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 3 (IANS) Moderate rain accompanied by strong winds is likely across Tamil Nadus Western Ghats districts and several southern and central districts on Saturday and Sunday, the Meteorological Department has forecast. The weather conditions are being influenced by a cyclonic circulation over the southeastern Arabian Sea off the Kerala coast. The department said the system could bring rainfall to parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days. Besides districts along the Western Ghats, moderate rain is expected in Madurai, Thoothukudi, Ramanathapuram and Sivaganga. Pudukkottai, Tiruchi, Ariyalur and Perambalur are also likely to receive moderate rainfall during the same period, with strong winds accompanying the showers. The forecast indicates that rainfall will vary across the State, with heavier showers expected in some hill districts and areas adjoining the Western Ghats. Other districts covered by the forecast are expected to receive moderate rain. The Meteorological Centre has predicted heavy rain in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Dindigul and Theni districts on Sunday, October 4. The warning places these four districts among the areas likely to experience the most intense rainfall during the weekend. For Salem, Erode, Namakkal, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri, the department has forecast moderate rain on Sunday. These districts are expected to receive showers as the prevailing weather system continues to influence conditions across western and adjoining parts of Tamil Nadu. Nilgiris and Coimbatore are likely to see a longer spell of heavy rainfall. According to the Meteorological Centre, heavy rain in these two districts could continue until October 6, extending beyond the weekend forecast issued for other areas. The outlook, therefore, points to sustained wet weather in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, while Dindigul and Theni have been specifically identified for heavy rain on Sunday. The forecast for the remaining named districts is for moderate rainfall. In Chennai, the department has predicted light rain on Saturday evening or during the night. The capitals forecast is for lighter showers compared with the heavy rainfall expected in parts of western Tamil Nadu. The latest forecast covers both the weekend rainfall outlook and the possibility of continuing heavy showers in two western districts through Tuesday. Strong winds are also expected alongside moderate rain in the Western Ghats districts and the southern and central districts identified in the departments forecast for Saturday and Sunday.

From Palladium to Bollywood, Suri remembers Kashmir

Srinagar, Oct 2: Bollywood actor-producer Sanjay Suri, who recently visited Kashmir for the International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir (IFFJK), has recalled his childhood in the valley, the circumstances that forced his family to leave in the early 1990s and his continuing emotional connection with Kashmir. Speaking to Rising Kashmir, Suri said he was 19 when the situation in Kashmir deteriorated in 1989 and he was then pursuing his graduation at Gandhi College. He had earlier studied at Burn Hall School and also represented Jammu and Kashmir in sports at the national level. I remember playing basketball, trekking and doing many other things. Those were very different times, Suri said, recalling his childhood and youth in Kashmir. He said the turning point for his family came after his father was killed on August 1, 1990. My father was killed on August 1, 1990, without any warning. We were not leaving. We thought, why do we need to leave? But three boys came home and shot him, he said. Following the incident and the imposition of curfew, Suri said, his family decided to leave Kashmir. That was the day when the family thought that we should move out of the valley. I completed my final year at MAM College in Jammu and later moved to Delhi. After a short stint in Delhi, I moved to Mumbai and eventually entered films, he said. Reflecting on the changes Kashmir has witnessed over the past three-and-a-half decades, Suri said several generations have grown up experiencing curfews, school closures and prolonged periods of uncertainty. Kashmir has seen a lot. Whether you are a Kashmiri or someone who came from outside, people have suffered. I hope we are in better times now, Suri said. According to him, people across the valley primarily want peace, prosperity and opportunities. Despite having spent decades outside Kashmir, Suri said he continues to visit the valley regularly. Suri said his emotional connection with Kashmir remains strong, adding that he sometimes jokes with his children about eventually returning to the Valley. I threaten my kids that when you go to college, I will go back to Kashmir, he said with a smile. When you have spent your childhood somewhere, you cant leave that place, but the connection remains. In Kashmir, there can also be a good environment for script reading because the distractions are less, he added. Suri also travelled down memory lane while recalling the cinema culture of Kashmir before the 1990s. We had Palladium and Regal. English films were screened at Broadway, Neelam Cinema and other theatres. I watched films of actors like Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and Dilip Kumar, he said. Recalling the excitement surrounding popular films, Suri said, I have watched films like Sholay, Coolie, Amar Akbar Anthony - there were big posters and long queues. Tickets were available for around Rs 5. He also remembered the ticket windows at Palladium Cinema and the presence of black-market ticket sellers. Suri believes Kashmir has the potential to develop a vibrant regional film industry and tell its own stories to the world. Regional cinema is important because you tell your stories yourself. It is such a beautiful way to reach out to the world, he said. Pointing to regional film industries in Punjab and Tamil Nadu, he said Kashmir could also develop its own cinema rooted in its culture, people and stories. Suri, who has worked in films including Raazi and Firaaq, also recalled his experience of shooting I Am in Kashmir. It was a great experience shooting in Kashmir. The permissions were also issued smoothly, he said. The actor-producer said his recent visit to Kashmir for the IFFJK gave him an opportunity to reconnect with the Valleys evolving film ecosystem. I was happy to attend the film festival. It was a new experience for Kashmir, he said. Suri acknowledged that there were some glitches during the festival but said organising such an event on a large scale was itself significant. However, he emphasised the need to ensure that local filmmakers and artists remain central to the development of Kashmirs film ecosystem. Suri suggested that a comprehensive database of local artists should be created and maintained so that filmmakers and festival organisers can easily identify talent from Jammu and Kashmir. Suri also advocated establishing a dedicated film school in Kashmir to train young people in various technical and creative aspects of filmmaking. He said such an institution could help create a structured ecosystem for local talent and provide young filmmakers with opportunities to acquire professional skills without having to leave the valley.
