Days after creating a row with his Hindu terrorist remark, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan reiterated on Wednesday that independent India’s first extremist was a Hindu.
Campaigning in Thiruparankundram Assembly constituency for his party candidate contesting in May 19 by-election, Haasan said: “In Aravakuruchi I said independent India’s first extremist was a Hindu. It is a historical truth.”
Haasan said some people were getting angry over his remark.
Haasan said all his family members were Hindus and he would not talk in any manner to hurt their feelings.
