However, the actor yesterday took to his Twitter account to express his concern. Rajinikanth tweeted: “Violence should not be the route to solve any problem. Indian people should be united and alert with the security and welfare of the nation in their minds.”
The actor also mentioned that the ongoing violence in our nation hurts him.
However, the Twitterati seems to be divided in two camps- with one supporting Rajinikanth’s views with #IStandWithRajinikanth and the other one bashing at him with #ShameOnYouSanghiRajini.
Talking about the CAA Protest, amid nationwide protests against the newly enacted Citizenship Act, a number of celebrities have raised their voice against the police action on students in Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.
