Reportedly Makkal Needhi Maiam Chief and actor kamal hassan has been invited by DMK to participate in the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) procession that is to be held in the city on december 23. Meanwhile DMK organisation secretary and rajya sabha member RS Bharati met kamal haasan in person to invite him to their party’s big procession and the invite was made soon after MK stalin, DMK Chief made the announcement of the procession on Thursday.
When speaking to reporters after chairing an all-party meeting at the party headquarters in the city, stalin said the meeting resolved that the caa has to be revoked and a procession will be held in chennai on december 23 at 10 am, demanding its revocation. Reportedly kamal hassan, who is recuperating from a surgery, would participate if his doctor permits. On november 22, Kamal underwent surgery to remove an implant that was placed in his leg in 2016 after an accident.
Moreover kamal hassan had slammed the Union government and the ruling AIADMK in TN over the citizenship amendment act and said his party is opposed to the proposed nation-wide National Register of Citizens (NRC). Perhaps he had also visited the protesting students of madras university to express his solidarity. Furthermore while speaking to reporters from his party headquarters in chennai, Kamal had said that the issue at hand was "beyond political, caste or state borders."
