The AVP auditorium was filled with over a thousand school children and college students. The President of the Vetri Tamizhar Peravai, Ramraj Nagarajan, delivered a wonderful moral discourse,” he wrote.“The coordinator Tiruppur Jeevanandam, District President Srikumar, Secretary Satish, and Treasurer Sivakumar shouldered the responsibility of the event. Seeing two thousand young hands clapping in unison, I forgot myself,” added Vairamuthu, posting pictures with school children on his X (formerly Twitter). In 2018, Vairamuthu made news during the MeToo movement when he was accused of sexual harassment by singer Chinmayi Sripada, Bhuvana Seshan, and others. He denied all allegations and chalked them down to ‘ulterior motives’. He recently penned lyrics for the 2024 films Maharaja and Kozhipannai Chelladurai.
