Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan’s concern for political stability in Tamil Nadu was very evident since former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s death. Whether it was about the protests over Jallikattu or the recent political battle between O Panneerselvam and VK Sasikala, Haasan has been tweeting regularly.
And now on Saturday, when VK Sasikala’s close aide E Palaniswamy had to prove his majority in the Assembly to retain his chief ministership, Haasan didn’t stay silent.
He first asked all parties to work for people:
Without consulting Mr.VeeramaNi ayya Im emboldened to say DK will have to work for the people or not at all. It applies to all Dravidians
— Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) February 18, 2017
He then blamed the media for exaggerating the Saturday’s incident in which DMK MLAs created a ruckus in the assembly:
Media’ll have to use less hyperbole.We have seen worst things happen in TN assembly. .Why are lazy couch revolters (incld. I)so shocked now?

I’ve seen MLAs of d then ADMK now Cong. walk away with bunch of plucked microphones .The English TV anchors were too young 2 remember.We do

It was followed by a sarcastic remark on the new Chief Minister:
There you go. Seems like we have another CM. Jai de-mockcrazy
— Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) February 18, 2017
And finally, he asked people to welcome their MLAs with respect:
People of Tamizhnadu, Welcome your respective MLAs with the respect they desrve back home
— Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) February 18, 2017
And here is what people had to tell him:
