Kamal Haasan confirms plunge into politics, launches app

News Network

November 6, 2017

Chennai, Nov 6: Veteran actor Kamal Haasan confirmed on Sunday that he would be taking his political plunge and said the first step would be to launch a mobile software app on November 7, coinciding with his 63rd birthday. The app, he says, will enable him to be in touch with the fans.

The launch of the political party will happen in a calm manner and the launch of mobile app is the first step, he emphasised while addressing a function marking the 39th anniversary of his fan/welfare club (Kamal Haasan Narpani Iyakkam).

“I will surely start a party and enter politics,” the actor said at Kelambakkam. There is no shame in stretching out one's hands for the welfare of the people and if only the rich pay their taxes properly, the country would be on the right path, he said and informed that his fans would contribute funds for the political party and the mobile app would also enable to maintain proper accounts of funds collected.

“November 7 is a day not to cut a cake and celebrate but a day to cut canals”, Kamal said referring to the massive inundation in several places in the city due to heavy downpour. The actor further said that natural disasters do not differentiate between rich and poor and all should be ready to take preventive measures than acting after the loss of dear ones.

Suppression, he said, has become part of politics and “it is not important how many people are threatening us, but what is important is what we are going to do”. The actor said he is ready to take a beating but he is not a “mridangam” (a percussion instrument) to get hit again and again.

Exuding confidence that his fans would generously fund his political party, he said, “I will not deposit the funds in Swiss banks. Instead, I will try to bring back our money that is lodged in the Swiss banks” while touching on an issue promised by BJP. Taking a dig at the saffron party, he said, “Don't swallow poison handed to you in the name of religion”. He had never advocated pulling down temples, he clarified.

Calling upon the public to involve in relief work in flood-affected parts of Tamil Nadu, he said, “We fail to look back at history and end up repeating the same mistakes. Nature's fury does not discriminate between the poor and the rich. Do we need to wait until we lose lives to natural disasters?” He said it (the meeting) was just a beginning and that he would hold 50 more meetings like this.

February 5,2020

Chennai, Feb 5: The popular cine actor Rajinikanth has defended the Union Government on the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying it will not affect the Indian Muslims.

In a brief interaction with reporters this morning in Chennai, the matinee idol said if the Muslims are affected by the CAA, he would be at the forefront in their defence. He asked how will the legislation affect the Indian Muslims when they chose to stay back in the country to make it their motherland. Mr Rajinikanth also supported the National Population Register saying it has been in force even in the past.

On the NRC, Mr Rajinikanth said the Government has already made it clear that its nationwide rollout has not been even discussed so far. Mr Rajinikanth is nourishing political ambitions and has made it clear that he would plunge into politics ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections in the state which is due in 2021.

This law violates the fundamentals of the Indian constitution. Whey they are seeing the Muslims angle first?

It looks that they are misinforming the public by diverting into a Muslim only issue. If that was the case, why so many non-Muslims are protesting? I looks like Rajini has back-end support to the center's CAA move.

He is another crack, hamare desh main pagal logon ki kami nahi

What can expect from ex KSRTC bus conductor

clear sign of ZERO knowedge with Indian constitution.

However, the performer didn't provide further insight concerning the reason behind the change.

Canadian singer Grimes gave birth to her first child on May 4.

The 32-year-old had earlier taken to Twitter and explained the meaning of the baby's name.

Agencies

August 2,2020

Mumbai, Aug 2: None of the sim cards that actor Sushant Singh Rajput was using was registered under his name, said the team of Bihar Police, probing his death case, on Sunday.

The team also informed that one of the sim cards that the late actor was using was registered the name of his friend Siddharth Pithani.

"We are now tracking the call detail records (CDRs)," the police said.

The team also said that they will interrogate the family of Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Disha Salian, who died few days before Sushant's death.

"Even after constant attempts to connect with them on phone, we have failed to establish any contact," it said.

Earlier today, while talking to news agency, the Director-General of Police (DGP) of Bihar Gupteshwar Pandey hinted at the non-cooperation of Mumbai police with his team in their investigation.

"We don't have post-mortem report details, CCTV footage or any information that has been collected by Mumbai Police during probe till now. Our Chief Minister has requested the Maharashtra Chief Minister to ask his police force to cooperate with us," the DGP added.

When asked if Bihar Police want CBI probe into the case, he said, "We are more than capable of doing an unbiased investigation. We hope that Mumbai Police will cooperate with us and we'll conclude the investigation."

Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14. Mumbai Police who was investigating the case had earlier informed that they have recorded the statements of 41 people, including filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra so far.

A team of Bihar Police is in Mumbai to probe the actor's death after an FIR was filed by Rajput's father KK Singh against late actor's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar in connection with the death case under several sections including abetment of suicide.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had also registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in Rajput's death case. ED registered the report after an FIR was filed by his father against Chakraborty.
