Kamal Haasan on Sterlite protests: “Negligence of the Governments is the reason for all the unfortunate incidents”

Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan condemned the gunfire incident in Tuticorin yesterday, which killed eleven anti-Sterlite protesters.

“The peaceful protest by the people of Tuticorin against Sterlite, demanding justice, was ignored by the governments. Negligence of the Governments is the reason for all the unfortunate incidents. Citizens are not criminals. They are ones who lose their lives; earlier due to Sterlite and now due to the Government’s orders. Everybody should maintain peace!” said Haasan in an official statement.

So far, eleven protesters have been reported as dead and many are injured and fighting for their lives in the hospital.
