Until yesterday, social media was celebrating the FIFA Club World Cup. Until yesterday, The Odyssey was trending without anyone questioning people’s priorities. Today, Jananayagan‘s release is suddenly being portrayed as proof that Tamil Nadu doesn’t care about students.
That’s a selective narrative.
The protests in Delhi are centred on NEET reforms and accountability over alleged examination irregularities. Tamil Nadu has consistently maintained its political position of seeking exemption from or abolition of NEET. These aren’t contradictory positions. (Reuters)
If the concern is genuinely about students, the conversation should focus on solutions, not on blaming a film release or those watching it.
And if leaders believe the issue demands street-level mobilisation, it’s fair to ask why those holding public office aren’t leading such protests themselves instead of limiting the response to statements or social media messaging.
DMK has really pressed the panic button. Most buses have been delayed. Deliberate jam at kilambakkam . People made to wait for hours , many of them returning back frustrated not being able to go to their native places to vote. Sad state of affairs.
Today, all the TV Media are discussing about Vijay’s property value.
TN CM M. K. Stalin’s Movable Property Value is just ₹3.30 crore. Immovable Property Value is ₹4.34 crore only. No vehicle 🚗 in his name.
Do Media need seventh sense to debate this?
Could have created a statue of Sunil Chhetri and given recognition to an Indian footballer, but instead they chose to waste taxpayers’ money on someone who’s already widely famous and has absolutely nothing to do with India!
