Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan on Saturday said that a developed society is one in which people don’t impose their religious beliefs on others and live without hurting the sentiments of others.
In an apparent reference to those who defaced the statue of Dravidian stalwart Periyar in Coimbatore, Mr. Haasan said, “It is not our identity to pursue hate politics and divisions based on religious beliefs. Divide and rule conspiracies cannot be used to paint the Tamils in anyway.”
