Actor Ponvannan stepped down as the Secretary of Nadigar Sangam, after Vishal's plunge into politics, this morning.
 

Behindwoods got in touch with Ponvannan to know more about this, who said, "We had an agenda while we, as a team, contested in the Nadigar Sangam elections. No one should use Nadigar Sangam's influence on politics. We were following that motive, as promised for the past two years. Karunas was the only person in the Sangam, who was part of a political association. We told him not to use any of his political ideas here, and he also agreed to it.

But now, when Vishal enters into politics, questions about our motive's genuineness is questioned by a few people. He might say that he is contesting independently, and he has the total rights to decide about his political ambitions. What he is currently doing might be right. However, I decided to stand aside from these, and hence I decided to step down from my post.

Though, I would continue my service for the welfare of the Nadigar Sangam, and I am very much part of the association still. Even now, I talk with Vishal, and he is my good friend. I've told him that we would work together for the betterment of the Sangam. I have told him that I will be his good friend and will work for him and the Sangam."
