Chennai – Actor Kamal Haasan reacted to Udhayanidhi Stalin’s statement against Sanatan Dharma with a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). He said, “Udhayanidhi Stalin is entitled to express his views on Sanatan Dharma. If you disagree with his viewpoint, it’s important to engage in a discussion based on the merits of Sanatan Dharma instead of resorting to threats of violence or legal intimidation tactics, or distorting his words to evoke emotional responses for narrow political gains”. (Why doesn’t Kamal Haasan ever encourage open discussion when someone expresses views against Islam and faces threats of ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ (beheading)? Why has Haasan remained silent on cases like Nupur Sharma’s and Kanhaiyalal’s beheading, not uttering a single word ? – Editor)

Kamal Haasan went on to say, “The hallmark of a true democracy is the ability of its citizens to disagree and engage in continued discussion. History has repeatedly taught us that asking the right questions has led to important answers and contributed to our development as a better society”.

Editorial Viewpoints

  • Udhayanidhi’s party and the ideology passed down from his grandfather, Karunanidhi, have consistently opposed Sanatan Dharma principles. The party has pursued a political agenda in Tamil Nadu based on this stance. Those who go against the principle of ‘all religions are equal’ should not be given the right to express hateful thoughts on Sanatan Dharma.
  • Udhayanidhi never exercises the right to express his opinion about eradicating other religions. Why is Kamal Haasan not talking about this?
