Leadership

Leader Vijay

He began his life as a film artist, but as a socially responsible human being, he immersed himself in all forms of social activity. He took on the great duty of shaping his fans into responsible individuals, transforming fan clubs into forums for public service. With social responsibility and selfless public service as his sole duty, the time came to organize the Thalapathy’s service-minded followers into a movement — thus was born the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. From fasting in solidarity with Eelam Tamils, to raising his voice for Tamil Nadu’s fishermen, to standing firm for Tamil rights through Jallikattu, he led the movement not only in these struggles but also in countless welfare initiatives across Tamil Nadu, serving people of all ages, from children to the elderly. The leader’s direct political involvement came as the fulfillment of both his duties and the demand of the times. A leadership born solely out of people’s needs and trust now carries the responsibility of enabling a truly democratic future for Tamil Nadu.
