Kamal Haasan takes on 'Hindu terror', says right-wing groups now resort to violence


Chennai, Nov 2 (Zee News): Amid speculation over the dates when he begins his political journey, Tamil actor Kamal Haasan has said that right-wing groups resort to violence. In his weekly column, Haasan wrote: "In the past, Hindu, right-wing groups would not indulge in violence. They would hold a dialogue with opponents. But now they resort to violence."

Hitting out at those claiming that Hindus cannot be found guilty in terror-related cases, he said, "right wing cannot challenge talk of Hindu terrorists because terror has spread into their camp as well."

He also added that "Hindus are losing faith in 'satyameva jayate' and instead subscribing to 'might is right'."

Speculation has been rife about when Haasan will launch his own political party. Recently, he had asked fans to be ready for "a big announcement" on his birthday - November 7. However, he later clarified that he will not be launching his party on the day.

He had met Arvind Kejriwal at his home in Chennai claiming that he had taken the Delhi Chief Minister's advise on crowdfunding and recruiting "young, fresh faces" for his political party.

He had also met Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan but clarified after the meeting that he will not join any left or right oriented political party. He had stressed that his colour of choice is not "saffron" - an oblique reference to the BJP and RSS.

He made the remarks after meeting here.

    every political novice sets direction on the new party that he plans to set up.

    First and foremost, gather all guts and abuse Hinduism as these jokers don't have an iota of guts to speak truth on what is really bothering this world.. LOL. this very joker had faced so many problems with islamisc fundamentals who stopped relaying his movie vishawaroopam.. but he has gracefully pardoned them and now speaking about hinduism becse he knows he can get away easily and get lot of coverage also.. Shame

    Hindu Terror is the 'get away ' mechanism of the inefficient cops and the leaders. For instance Kaluburgi, gauri lankesh etc, where cops did not have a clue , so simply blame 'Hindu Terror'. While in reality, we know who the 'terrorists' in any place of the world are.

    Terrorism is a different religion. All religious books says not to kill innocent people.

    Terrorists have no religion.

    If u judge by watching movie. Then tipu sultan is no 1 patriotic person. Who fought for the sake of india and died for the sake of india.

    movie to be watched not blindly.. LOL
    Tipu fought for the sake of india ? he would have never heard of concept of India.. All life, he was fighting to retain mysore with the help of French. Obviously he has to fight with maharajas who took help of British in stead. A fight for one kingdom called Mysore between tipu + French against British + vodeyar becomes patriotic only for pappu fans
