The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Khusbu Sundar has called the stampede in Tamil Nadu’s Karur a “planned" and “created" incident. The stampede that broke out at a political rally led by actor-turned-politician Vijay left 41 dead and several injured. She also lashed out at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for being in “mute mode".

“The entire people of Tamil Nadu believe that there was complete negligence. It seems like it was a created calamity because DMK knew the kind of crowd Vijay was going to garner – despite this, they did not give him a proper space to conduct the rally. MK Stalin is in a mute mode now and not answering questions. 41 people died. He should speak now; someone needs to unmute him," Sundar said.
