Ahead of the Lok Sabha 2024 elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the implementation of the much-controversial CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), 20219. The announcement was met with mixed responses.  Tamil actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Thalapathy Vijay has spoken against the implementation of the act in a statement he released. 

The actor who is now set to step into active politics released a statement in Tamil. It loosely translated to: "It is not acceptable to implement any law like the Indian Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) in an environment where all citizens of the country live with social harmony".
