Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' Sparks Political Firestorm: Rahul Gandhi vs. BJP on Tamil Culture

• Rahul Gandhi supported Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' after CBFC halted its certification, calling it an attack on Tamil culture.
• Gandhi stated PM Modi would not succeed in suppressing the voice of the Tamil people, criticizing the I&B Ministry.
• CBFC held certification due to potential religious sentiment hurt; a single-judge bench initially directed U/A 16+ certification.
• KVN Productions LLP moved the Supreme Court for an interim stay on the Madras High Court's order that stalled certification.
• BJP responded by calling Gandhi a "shameless habitual liar," citing the UPA government's past opposition to Jallikattu as an insult to Tamil culture.

Why It Matters: Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' ignited a political clash between Rahul Gandhi and BJP over Tamil culture and censorship.
