Petition against Kamal Haasan in Madras HC; Hindu terrorism

A petition seeking direction to the police to register an FIR against actor Kamal Haasan for his alleged comments on “Hindu terrorism” in a Tamil magazine has been filed in the Madras High Court.

When the plea came up for hearing on Thursday, Justice MS Ramesh directed the public prosecutor to get instructions from the police authority concerned and adjourned the petition by a week.

“By making such statements Kamal Haasan is trying to brand Hindus as terrorists. He should understand that no religion preaches violence but only peace. The actor with vested interests is trying to divide the Tamil community on basis of religion,” the petitioner said.

He added that he had approached the Chennai police commissioner on November 4 and Teynampet police on November 6 with his complaint against the actor.
