Image: IANS, ANI  Makkal Needhi Maiyam (MNM) president and Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan on Thursday said not inviting TVK to form the government in Tamil Nadu, despite emerging as the single largest party, would amount to “disrespecting the mandate of the people”.He urged constitutional authorities to allow the party to prove its majority on the floor of the House.”The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, led by Mr @TVKVijayHQ, has won 108 seats. Not inviting him to form the government would amount to disrespecting the mandate of the people of Tamil Nadu. The 233 elected members are still unable to take their oaths. This is an insult to the state; a damage to democracy,” Haasan said through a post on X.Referring to the Supreme Court’s ruling in the S R Bommai case, he said the court had clearly held that “a majority must be proved on the floor of the House, not in Raj Bhavan.”Haasan also referred to outgoing chief minister M K Stalin’s statement accepting the verdict and functioning as a “responsible opposition”, saying he respected Stalin’s “political maturity”.”My brother, Mr @mkstalin has announced that ‘we respect the people’s verdict; we shall function as a responsible opposition’. I respect his political maturity,” he said.Meanwhile, sources said Vijay could be sworn in as the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu once he demonstrates majority support in the Assembly, with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar said to be keen on ensuring a “stable” government, as cited by ANI.Sources added that Vijay could take oath as chief minister as soon as he proves the required numbers.The development comes amid continuing political activity in the state, with Vijay meeting the Governor for a second time earlier in the day and staking claim to form the government with the backing of 112 MLAs, including five from Congress.Supporters of TVK also staged protests outside Lok Bhavan, demanding Vijay’s immediate swearing-in as chief minister.Vijay is expected to resign from one of the two Assembly seats he contested, reducing the effective strength of the 234-member House to 233 and bringing down the majority mark to 117. With support from 112 MLAs, TVK remains five short of the halfway mark.Earlier, Congress Legislature Party leader S Rajeshkumar said the party’s support to TVK was aimed at respecting the people’s mandate and working for the welfare of the state.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Rahul Gandhi NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led central government, demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over his alleged “terrorist” remark against students protesting over education-related issues.In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led NDA government of suppressing dissent and failing to protect the interests of students.In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Modi government was branding students demanding fair examinations and a secure future as “terrorists.”He wrote, “Drowned in the arrogance of power, the Modi government has now reached a point where the Education Minister is calling students, who are merely demanding their rights, fair examinations, and a secure future, ‘terrorists’.”Just think about it, the one whose failures led to so many paper leaks, under whose rule 20 children lost their lives, who has pushed the futures of millions of youth into darkness, is today labeling the suffering children and those raising their voices as ‘terrorists’.”Rahul Gandhi further alleged that the government routinely branded its critics.”But this is nothing new: Farmers, the nation’s food providers, were called ‘professional agitators and parasites.’ Those who ask questions were branded ‘Anti-National.’ And now, the youth are being called ‘terrorists’.”Demanding Pradhan’s resignation, Gandhi wrote, “Anyone who questions the government, label them a traitor; that’s the entirety of their politics. Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan, immediately apologize to the millions of youth in this country and resign for your failures.”He also criticised the education system, saying, “As for me, go ahead and attack me as much as you want. I said it in Kota, and I say it again: This education system has today become nothing but an extortion racket. I won’t let it continue like this. Ensuring every child gets affordable, quality education and fair examinations, I will never stop raising this voice. #ChhatronKiGoonj #ChhatraJodo.”This format is standard news style because every set of remarks is explicitly introduced as “he wrote”, “Gandhi further alleged”, or “Demanding Pradhan’s resignation, Gandhi wrote”, making it clear that these are Rahul Gandhi’s claims and not the reporter’s narration.Get the latest India news and live updates.
