Kamal Haasan To Launch Political Party Today

Marking his entry into politics, veteran Tamil actor Kamal Haasan began his state-wide tour on Wednesday. His roadshow will begin from the house of late President A P J Abdul Kamal in Rameswaram and travel through Ramanathapuram, his hometown, before culminating in Madurai.

 At his last destination, Haasan will announce the name of his political party as well as its guiding principles.

Haasan’s plan to interact with students of Kalam’s school was cancelled this morning due to opposition from the government and certain Hindu groups. He will, however, continue his tour, during which he is expected to address three public meetings before his Madurai rally.
