Following actor Karthi, his brother, actor Suriya has opened up and voiced out against the Environmental Impact Assessment draft issued by the Central Government. Suriya has supported the views expressed by Karthi yesterday.

Retweeting Karthi's statement, Suriya made a tweet in Tamil which read "More than the spoken words, the unspoken silence is dangerous. To protect our environment, let us come out of our silences #EIA2020".

Yesterday, Karthi had issued a strong, detailed statement against EIA via his 'Uzhavan Foundation' and had questioned the destruction of sources of our life, for building highways and setting up factories and that the draft without discussion with public creates distrust. Questioning the necessity to pass the law during Coronavirus pandemic, Karthi urged people to send their views on EIA to the government's mail ID.

பேசிய வார்த்தைகளை விட, பேசாத மௌனம் மிக ஆபத்தானது. காக்க.. காக்க.. சுற்றுச்சூழல் காக்க.. நம் மௌனம் கலைப்போம்.. #EIA2020 https://t.co/le0hgpzHPX
