When many powerful and connected people are only into complaining about the turn of events in Chennai for the last few hours, Kamal Haasan has behaved responsibly. He has not only tried his best to calm the protestors, but also spoken to O Panneerselvam first and Narendra Modi next to bring a message to the people.

"A looming question. When the students were calmly waiting to see what decision the assembly takes. Why preempt with police action? Spoke to the Honrbl CM of TN. The looming question has been asked of him. He will answer soon. They're eager to satisfy you. Stay calm. Have informed our Honrbl. PM through the best of my connections. The Honrbl. justice-seekers will have to maintain peace," he has tweeted.

He has urged the police to be temperate in their actions.
