Fri Apr 25 13:27:51 UTC 2025: ## VCK Leader Calls for Diplomatic Response to Kashmir Attack, Condemns Governor Ravi

**Tiruchi, April 25, 2025** – Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) president and Chidambaram MP Thol. Thirumavalavan has urged against military retaliation following the recent terrorist attack in Kashmir, advocating instead for a diplomatic solution. Speaking to the media on Friday, Mr. Thirumavalavan stressed that if Pakistan’s involvement is confirmed, it should be addressed through international pressure, not war. He criticized the BJP government’s claims that the revocation of Article 370 would end terrorism in Kashmir, highlighting the recent attack as a contradiction of these assurances.

Mr. Thirumavalavan reiterated the VCK’s call for Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s resignation, stating that this demand stems from public outrage and citing the precedent of former Home Minister Shivraj Patil’s resignation after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He further condemned the actions of Governor R. N. Ravi, accusing him of deliberately creating friction with the state government, particularly regarding the recent Vice-Chancellors’ conference.

Finally, Mr. Thirumavalavan announced a planned VCK protest rally in Tiruchi on May 31 against the Waqf (Amendment) Act.
