Dr K.A. Paul says Tamil Nadu’s future depends on cooperation, investment, and development, urging leaders to move beyond political rivalry.
New Delhi: Global peace advocate and Global Peace Initiative founder Dr. K.A. Paul has urged former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and his family to end what he called “corrupt and dirty politics” and allow newly elected Chief Minister Vijay to govern without political interference.
According to Dr. Paul, the people’s mandate should be respected after the election, and continued political confrontation only delays the state’s progress. He claimed that efforts were made to prevent Vijay from forming the government despite the election outcome.
“Chief Minister Vijay met Mr. Stalin with humility and respect, yet political hostility continues. Democracy requires respect for the people’s verdict. Tamil Nadu now needs constructive politics focused on development instead of confrontation,” Dr. Paul said.
He also raised concerns over Tamil Nadu’s economic challenges, including rising debt, unemployment, and gaps in education, healthcare, and infrastructure. He urged political leaders to shift their focus from rivalry to investment-driven growth.
To support that vision, Dr. Paul invited Chief Minister Vijay to attend the Global Peace Summit in Washington, D.C., on September 24, 2026. He said the summit would connect the Chief Minister with global policymakers, investors, and business leaders to explore investment opportunities for Tamil Nadu.
Dr. Paul added that he plans to introduce Vijay to U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, entrepreneur Elon Musk, and other international business leaders to encourage investment in the state. Similar invitations, he said, will also be extended to the Chief Ministers of the Telugu-speaking states to promote regional economic cooperation.
Highlighting the importance of political maturity, Dr. Paul referred to former U.S. President Barack Obama’s decision to appoint Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State despite their intense presidential contest.
He concluded by urging political leaders across India to prioritise development, employment, investment, and peace over prolonged political conflict, saying clean politics is essential for the country’s future.
