During a press conference held at the Chennai Press Club, Vetrikumaran, the former state coordinator of the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), made several significant statements, leveling serious allegations against Seeman, the leader of NTK. He also discussed the changing political dynamics in Tamil Nadu.
Allegations Against Seeman
Vetrikumaran began by highlighting the early days of the NTK, stating, “The Naam Tamilar Katchi was initially formed as a movement, driven by countless youths across Tamil Nadu, with the primary objective of advocating for the rights of Tamils and preserving Tamil culture. However, as the movement grew, Seeman began to use his position to assert his personal authority, controlling the party’s growth to serve his interests,” he alleged.
Vetrikumaran pointed out that many young supporters dedicated themselves to the party’s cause, but their contributions and commitments were disregarded, as Seeman exercised a high level of authority, making unilateral decisions. This control over the party’s direction led to discontent, and as a result, several members chose to leave, dissatisfied with the way Seeman managed the party.
Formation of the Tamilar Orunginaippu Iyakkam
Another key point Vetrikumaran raised was the creation of a new organization, “Tamilar Orunginaippu Iyakkam” (Tamil Coordination Movement). He stated, “Those who were sidelined or chose to leave the NTK due to Seeman’s leadership have now come together to form this new movement.”
The objective of the new movement is to continue working for the welfare of the Tamil people, an objective they believe was not being achieved under Seeman’s leadership in the NTK. Vetrikumaran expressed confidence that this new organization would address the core issues affecting Tamils more effectively and inclusively.
Plan for “Veera Vanakkam Naal”
Vetrikumaran also announced a significant upcoming event for the newly formed movement. On November 27, they plan to host “Veera Vanakkam Naal,” a day to honor and remember the brave warriors in Tamil history. According to him, the event aims to revive the spirit, culture, and traditions of Tamil valor, encouraging the new generation to connect with their heritage.
He emphasized that the day is not just a commemoration but a celebration of the bravery and sacrifices made by Tamils throughout history, serving as a reminder to the younger generation of their ancestors’ pride and strength.
Allegations of Misuse of Foreign Funds
Vetrikumaran leveled additional allegations against Seeman, stating, “Even though NTK received funding from supporters abroad, Seeman did not show due respect to the donors. In some cases, he misled and humiliated them.” He claimed that such behavior has damaged the credibility of the party, leaving supporters disheartened.
These accusations bring to light internal issues within the NTK, suggesting that Seeman’s approach has alienated not only domestic supporters but also those in the Tamil diaspora who had been contributing financially to the party.
Fear of Vijay’s Political Entry
The political entry of actor Vijay has created a buzz in Tamil Nadu, with his new political venture receiving widespread support, particularly from the youth. Recognizing the potential of this support, Vetrikumaran made a bold statement, saying, “Seeman is closely observing Vijay’s political rise. There is a palpable fear that if Vijay gains significant traction, it would challenge Seeman’s authority and influence.”
According to Vetrikumaran, Vijay’s emergence as a political contender has prompted Seeman to rethink his strategies, as he fears losing his hold over his supporter base if Vijay’s party gains momentum. This is seen as a major reason behind Seeman’s current anxiety, as he attempts to secure his political relevance.
Overall Impact
Vetrikumaran’s statements have brought NTK’s current situation under intense scrutiny. His comments have highlighted internal rifts within the party, raising questions about its future and leadership. With the political landscape in Tamil Nadu already shifting due to Vijay’s entry, these new developments further complicate the scenario for NTK.
The creation of Tamilar Orunginaippu Iyakkam represents a significant split from NTK, signaling a new chapter in Tamil Nadu politics. The new movement aims to address the issues that NTK has, according to Vetrikumaran, failed to tackle effectively. With plans to honor Tamil culture and history through events like “Veera Vanakkam Naal,” the new organization is setting a foundation for what it sees as a more inclusive and purposeful political presence.
Vijay’s Political Challenge to Seeman
Vijay’s political entry is seen as a significant shift in the political dynamics of Tamil Nadu, with many young people rallying behind him. Vetrikumaran’s suggestion that Seeman fears this new competition indicates the challenges that established political players might face from new entrants. Vijay’s appeal, especially among the youth, could disrupt existing political alignments, and Seeman’s NTK is no exception.
The allegations of mismanagement, misuse of funds, and authoritarian control within NTK also suggest that the party’s internal structure may not be as cohesive as it appears. This internal strife, combined with external competition from emerging political figures like Vijay, could redefine the party’s trajectory.
Conclusion
Vetrikumaran’s statements have added a new layer of complexity to Tamil Nadu’s political landscape. His allegations against Seeman, the formation of a new movement, and his views on Vijay’s political entry highlight ongoing shifts within regional politics. While the NTK faces questions about its internal management and leadership, the rise of new political players and movements like the Tamilar Orunginaippu Iyakkam could reshape future alliances and voter loyalties.
The next few months, leading up to events like “Veera Vanakkam Naal” and Vijay’s further political activities, will likely be critical in determining the direction Tamil Nadu’s political scenario will take. It remains to be seen how Seeman and the NTK will respond to these challenges, and how new entities will carve out their space in this dynamic environment.
