Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay Addresses Tamil Nadu Assembly Despite Opposition Protests
首席部長 C Joseph Vijay 在反對黨抗議下向泰米爾納德邦議會發表講話
Introduction
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay gave a formal speech to the Tamil Nadu assembly on Tuesday. The event was marked by a walkout from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party.
首席部長 C Joseph Vijay 於週二向泰米爾納德邦議會發表正式演講。活動期間，達羅威達進步聯盟 (DMK) 黨員集體離席以示抗議。
Main Body
The legislative session showed a clear disagreement between the different political groups. While members of the DMK left the room in protest, the Chief Minister continued his speech. Mr. Vijay used this opportunity to discuss his move from the movie industry to politics. He emphasized that his work for public welfare through fan clubs started long before he founded the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party in 2024. Consequently, he argued that the idea that he moved directly from a film set to government is a superficial view of his political journey.
此次立法會議顯示出不同政治團體之間存在明顯分歧。儘管 DMK 的成員集體離席抗議，但首席部長仍繼續其演講。Vijay 先生利用此機會討論他從電影業轉向政壇的過程。他強調，他透過粉絲俱樂部為公眾福利所做的工作，早在 2024 年創立泰米爾納德勝利黨 (TVK) 之前就已開始。因此，他認為所謂他直接從電影拍攝現場轉入政府的說法，是對其政治歷程的片面看法。
Furthermore, the Chief Minister performed a symbolic gesture after receiving permission from Speaker JCD Pabhakar. This action was a deliberate copy of a gesture previously made by former Chief Minister MK Stalin during talks about a DMK-Congress alliance. Although Mr. Stalin's original action was described as a spontaneous reaction, Mr. Vijay's version was praised by TVK members and widely discussed on social media.
此外，首席部長在獲得議長 JCD Pabhakar 許可後，做出了一個象徵性動作。此舉是刻意模仿前首席部長 MK Stalin 在討論 DMK 與國會黨聯盟時曾做過的動作。雖然 Stalin 先生原先的動作被描述為自發反應，但 Vijay 先生的版本則受到 TVK 成員的讚賞，並在社群媒體上被廣泛討論。
At the same time, the Chief Minister's film career has faced some administrative problems. His last movie, 'Jana Nayagan,' has not been released because it was sent back to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) revising committee. This delay was caused by a complaint from a committee member. Additionally, the illegal release of the film's high-definition version in April led to several legal arrests.
與此同時，首席部長的電影事業面臨一些行政問題。他的最後一部電影《Jana Nayagan》因被發回中央電影認證委員會 (CBFC) 審核委員會，因此尚未上映。此次延遲是由一名委員會成員的投訴所引起。此外，該片的高畫質版本於四月被非法洩漏，導致數人被捕。
Conclusion
The session ended with the Chief Minister calling for legislative unity to improve public welfare, even though there is clear tension with the opposition.
會議在首席部長呼籲立法機關團結以改善公眾福利下結束，儘管他與反對黨之間存在明顯緊張關係。
