Protest is over, please go home: RJ Balaji, Kamal Haasan urge protesters
Synopsis
Kamal Haasan hit out against the police action. But urged protesters to restrain themselves.
With police cracking down on pro jallikattu supporters, veteran cinema star Kamal Haasan came out in support of students and youth, saying "aggressive police action on students' passive resistance will not bear good results" and urged protesters not to resort to violence.
"This is a mistake. Aggressive police action on students passive resistance will not bear good results", Haasan wrote on Twitter.
He also appealed to the students and youth not to resort to violence. Haasan insisted that the protesters take up the non-violent path and said neither students nor public should resort to violence.
He also expressed concern over violence in Alanganallur, famous for holding the sport. Meanwhile, RJ-actor Balaji requested the protesters to go home, saying the Government promulgating an ordinance in itself was a success to the peaceful protests conducted over the last week.
On Monday, after violence escalated in the state, ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth put out a hand-written appeal on Twitter requesting the protesters to trust the lawmakers and end their agitation.
In the letter, Rajnikanth said that "some anti-social elements were trying to mar" the peaceful movement.
He then urged the protesters not to given to them and instead "peacefully" end the protests.
