Not only Rajini, no one should enter Tamil Nadu politics right now- Kamal Haasan
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,May 26 2017]
Everyone has an opinion about Superstar Rajinikanth's expected entry in politics and it is more than compelling to know what his long time friend and professional rival Kamal Haasan think about that.
For the nth time over the years and for the first time after Rajinikanth spoke about his political entry in two occasions last week, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan encountered the question from press persons about his opinion about the Superstar taking a plunge into politics.
To this the ever straight forward Ulaganaygan said "Given the current political scenario in Tamil Nadu, I would say no one should enter politics. Not just Rajinikanth or any other actor. Any rational person will not do that "
To a question whether he would enter politics, Kamal said he has been a part of politics ever since he started voting in elections from the age of 21.
Regarding the claim of certain Tamil organisations that only a person born as a Tamil should rule Tamil Nadu, Kamal said, "One's feeling as a Tamil is important rather than being born as a Tamil. Gandhi. Nehru, Bose are not Tamils by birth but many Tamil people keep the names of those leaders for their children. I am considered a Keralite by many Malayalees. If you ask whether I try to become the CM of Kerala, I would say I am not interested in that. "
On Rajinikanth's observation that the political system is corrupt in Tamil Nadu, Kamal said "What he has said is neither wrong nor different. It is a allegation made by many people and he has just echoed that. "
Asked whether he will give his suggestions and guidance for his friend if the latter enters politics, Kamal said it is not the right platform to speak about that and he will have to do that separately.
