Chennai: Close on the heels of S A Chandrasekhar announcing forming political party in Vijay’s name, the actor today chose to hold a meeting with district secretaries of Vijay Makkal Iyakkam.
The meeting took place at his Panayur guest house on ECR. Vijay discussed about his father SAC alleging that Makkal Iyakkam in-charge Bussy Anand to be misleading the actor and creating a divide between him and SAC.
A few days ago, Vijay released a strongly-worded statement asking his fans to not join the party just because it was founded by his father and made it clear that he is in no way related to the party or its activities.
In reply, SAC said he started the party to make Vijay’s fans feel upbeat. “Vijay’s people movement was started in 1993. It isn’t an entirely new organisation. What started as a chain of fan clubs got transformed into a people’s movement in later days. I felt the time was right to convert it into a political party and that this decision would make Vijay’s fans feel upbeat and give them a sense of recognition.”
Asked why Vijay had to warn his father of legal action if he was aware of the happenings, SAC said, “Well, that was just his personal statement.”
