A fringe pro-Tamil group issued a veiled threat to Chennai Super Kings saying that it would not be responsible if anything untoward happened to the cricket players considering the charged up atmosphere over the Cauvery issue in the state. Neither my organisation nor any other group is responsible for it," said T Velmurugan , president of Thamizhaga Valvurimai Katchi. However, he clarified that his organisation would not cause any harm to players and would hold only protest against the matches. We want the IPL matches to be shifted to some other state till a solution is found for the Cauvery issue," he said. The chorus for IPL match cancellation got stronger with a group of film directors and actor joining it.
