We should feel embarrassed: Kamal Haasan
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,September 15 2016]
For the past few days the Tamil people living in Karnataka, especially the capital city Bangalore have been living under the shadow of fear as the protests of Kannada outfits against the sharing of Cauvery river water with Tamil Nadu have turned violent.
Many film industry celebrities, including actors Prakash Raj, have expressed grief over the attack on innocents and appealed for peace.
Thinking actor Kamal Haasan, who has been recuperating from a leg surgery, just expressed dismay over the conflict on social media.
In his Tweet in Tamil language, he subtly says that Cauvery river is much older than all the languages we speak today and that it will flow even after our times. In an apparent reference to the violence unleashed by Kannada as well as Tamil fringe outfits in the name of ethnic sentiments, he warns that we will have to feel embarrassed for such activities.
