Kamal Haasan asks people to raise anguish through media
Among the many who attacked him from the political arena, Kamal Haasan in his statement singled out Minister D. Jayakumar and BJP senior H. Raja.
“Do not send by postcards and letters; establish your anguish through the digital media”, he said, while also providing the source for their digital address: http://www.tn.gov.in/ministerslist.
“Ensure at any cost your questions are not disrespectful; let the Ministers of this age understand that the common man is more dignified than them", said Kamal, adding, “There would be at least a few lakh people asking questions. Would you reply to them or would you arrest them all? But then, there aren't eno-ugh number of jails to fill them in entire south India”.
Let the people speak about all the other departments but he would bare the corruption within ‘my department’ (cinema). "Barring a few like me who dared to resist, everyone had to bow to the high corruption in the grant of certificates for tax exemption for movies. This is my voice (evidence)", said Kamal before coming up with his 'punch dialogue'- “The cauldron of political corruption will overflow if only all the bold people in the film industry come out openly and speak about it. People are not just herds; so develop the wisdom to listen to them. People's voice will soon be heard, loud and clear”.
Among the many who attacked him from the political arena, Kamal Haasan in his statement singled out Minister D. Jayakumar and BJP senior H. Raja.
The former had slammed him for his corruption charge saying he should enter politics or shut up, while the latter said the actor was a coward sans backbone. Addressing them as 'younger brothers', he said they should realise he had entered serious politics even when he opposed Hindi imposition (in the 1960s).
