Superstar Rajinikanth's decision to take part as the chief guest of an event to hand over newly built houses to Eelam Tamils in Jaffna of Sri Lanka has snowballed as a subject of political debate now.

On Friday Viduthalai Siruthaigal Katchi party leader Thol Thirumavalavan had urged Rajinikanth to boycott the event conducted by Gnanam Trust of Lyca Group which has built 150 houses for the Tamils living in war affected zones of Sri Lanka.READ ALSO: Prominent Tamil politician opposes Rajinikanth's visit to Sri Lanka

A few other pro-Tamil organisations have also urged Rajinikanth to stay away from the event.

This became a topic of debate in social media as well as the National news channels on Friday.

However Rajini's decision found a supporter in the form of a veteran Indian politician well known for taking pro-Sri Lankan Government stand in Ethnic divide between the Sinhala Government and Tamils living in Sri Lanka. As you guessed it right. it is none other than Subramanian Swamy.

Swamy in his latest tweet as said "If cinema star Rajnikant does not chicken out, but remains firm to go to Jaffna to distribute free houses, then he is worthy of praise."

We have to wait and watch for Thalaivar's decision to know whether he will take part in the event to be held on April 9th in Jaffna. It is to be noted that Gnanam Trust is being run by Lyca Group chariman Subaskaran who is producing Rajinikanth's upcoming mega budget film '2.0'.

If cinema star Rajnikant does not chicken out, but remains firm to go to Jaffna to distribute free houses, then he is worthy of praise.
