R Parthiban Backs Ajith's Call for Collective Responsibility on Karur Stampede
Imagine a big party got too crowded, and sadly, some people got hurt.
Actor Ajith said it's not just one person's fault, but that everyone, including movie fans, the news reporters, and even the movie makers, played a part in the crowd getting too big and out of control.
He mentioned how people sometimes get too excited, like destroying things at the cinema.
Actor Parthiban agreed with Ajith, saying we shouldn't blame just one actor, but think about how we can all be more responsible.
He also said it's important not to make it about politics, but to focus on the sad event and make sure it never happens again.
We need to remember the people who were lost and learn from this so that safety comes first.
R Parthiban supports Ajith Kumar's statement regarding the Karur stampede.
Ajith stated that the stampede was a collective failure involving fans, media, and the film industry, not solely one individual.
Ajith criticized destructive fan behavior, such as destroying theatre property, and questioned why such incidents are more prevalent with film stars.
Parthiban emphasized the need to understand Ajith's call for collective responsibility and not single out Vijay.
Both actors urged against politicizing the incident and stressed the importance of preventing future tragedies, remembering the 41 lives lost.

Actor
“The major reason for what Ajith said is that these activities like destroying theatre seats, overcrowding in the name of first day first show, and in the name of cinema need not be continued after the stampede in Karur. All viewpoints should be respected, and I believe what Ajith said should also be respected.”

Ajith
Actor
“Today, as a society, we have all become obsessed with gathering a crowd to show our power. All this has to end. Yes, you have crowds going to cricket matches, but why is it not happening there, right? Why is this happening only to celebrities and film personalities? The media should not encourage all this first day first-show crowds. Tearing down seats in the theatres, tearing down projection screens, destroying theatre seats, how long will all this go on?”

“There’s so much happening in Tamil Nadu today because of the stampede that happened. That individual alone is not responsible. We are all responsible for it. Even the media has a part to play in this.”
