Beware of people posing as TVK men on media debates, general secretary Anand tells cadre, public

CHENNAI: The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on Sunday cautioned the general public and party members against believing or accepting views expressed by unauthorised individuals claiming themselves to represent the party in media debates.

In a statement, TVK general secretary N Anand asked the general public and people to go by the views and positions articulated by officially designated spokespersons, ideology and propaganda secretaries, as announced by the president Vijay. Only the views of the authorised personnel reflect the authentic stance of the TVK, he asserted. This is seen as a bid to maintain integrity and authenticity of the party, as its public image gets a beating with unrepresented people talking out of party line.

The TVK has been experiencing rapid growth, thanks to the overwhelming support of the people. It has been actively engaged in various activities, including the enrollment of members, conferring certificates of appreciation and incentives to students. Organising the Vettri Kolgai Thiruvizha and anniversary celebrations are in full swing, Anand emphasised.

"However, certain political parties, unable to tolerate the TVK's popularity, have been attempting to masquerade their own supporters as TVK representatives, thereby perpetuating malicious views and opinions through media debates. This blatant misrepresentation has been strongly condemned by the TVK," Anand said.

He also clarified that any opinions or views expressed by individuals not officially authorised by the TVK president or the headquarters secretariat, with the president's consent, do not reflect the party's official position.

Further, the TVK general secretary urged the people of the State and party cadre to exercise extreme caution and not to believe or accept views and opinions articulated by unauthorised individuals.
