There are lines you never cross, no matter your politics. But journalist Savukku shankar bulldozed right through humanity itself when he declared in an interview: “It’s good for Vijay that 41 people are dead in his rally.”
Good? When families are torn apart? When mothers are still wailing? When infants lie lifeless in graves? This is not commentary. This is cruelty. This is journalism weaponized into sadism.
And yet, disturbingly, this twisted take perfectly reveals the rot at the heart of Vijay’s cult following—where tragedy is repackaged as political mileage.
1. 41 Deaths, 1 Sick Comment
people died in Karur. Forty-one souls. And shankar reduces this carnage into “good news” for a politician. If this is journalism, then journalism is dead.
2. From Truth-Seeker to Tragedy Exploiter
shankar once claimed to be a whistleblower. Today, he whistles at funerals. His words are not analysis; they are an obituary for empathy itself.
3. The Cult That Feeds on Corpses
Make no mistake—Shankar’s comment is not in isolation. It reflects the disturbing reality of Vijay’s fandom, where even mass death is reframed as political capital. This is not a fanbase, it’s a death cult.
4. The Normalization of Inhumanity
When public voices casually say, “41 deaths are good,” it normalizes barbarity. It desensitizes people. Tomorrow, 100 deaths could be justified as “better PR.” This is how societies rot from the inside.
5. Mothers Weep, Pundits Clap
While Karur's mothers faint at the funeral pyres, shankar smirks in the studio. The disconnect between ground reality and elite commentary has never been more shameful.
6. Vijay’s Silence Screams Complicity
Where is Vijay? His followers are weaponizing grief. His so-called sympathizers are celebrating deaths as “leverage.” His silence is not leadership—it is complicity.
7. Journalism Turned into Jihad Against Humanity
The role of journalism is to question power, not to spit on the graves of victims. Shankar’s statement is not free speech; it’s hate speech wrapped in pseudo-analysis.
8. Dear tamil Nadu, This Cannot Be Normalized
If we let these words pass unchecked, we allow death to become a political KPI. We allow cults to hijack grief. We allow sociopaths to define the narrative.
👉 Savukku Shankar’s words are not just an insult to the victims of Karur—they are an insult to tamil Nadu itself.
👉 Vijay’s cult must answer: how many more coffins before their politics feels “successful”?
