Days after the Karur stampede at actor-politician and TVK founder Vijay's rally, which claimed 41 lives, posters supporting him appeared in Tamil Nadu cities like Viluppuram and Thanjavur. Some of the posters read, 'Save the Commander, We'll restore Tamil Nadu', while others stated, 'We stand with you, Thalapathi Vijay'. Earlier, 'Arrest Vijay' posters had been put up in Karur.
