Superstar
Rajinikanth
joins
the
list
of
celebrities
to
express
their
opinions
on
CAA.
Protests
and
violence
across
the
country
have
become
so
frequent
since
the
announcement
of
the
Citizenship
(Amendment)
Act.
The
violence
at
Delhi's
Jamia
Millia
Islamia
University
earlier
this
week
became
a
national
sensation
and
grabbed
the
attention
of
all
celebrities
and
commoners.
Several
actors
including
Kamal
Haasan
took
to
their
social
media
to
express
their
views
on
this
issue.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
has
now
broke
his
silence
over
the
matter.
He
took
to
his
official
Twitter
handle
yesterday
to
post
a
note.
In
the
note,
he
has
stated
that
violence
and
riots
are
not
a
solution
for
any
issue.
Though
the
actor
did
not
specify
any
particular
incident
in
the
country,
he
said
that
the
ongoing
violence
gives
him
great
pain.
His
tweet
read,
"Violence
and
rioting
should
not
become
a
way
to
find
solution
for
any
issue.
I
request
the
people
of
India
to
stay
united
and
vigilant
keeping
in
mind
the
nation's
security
and
welfare".
He
added,
"The
ongoing
violence
gives
me
great
pain".
Rajinikanth's
statement
has
been
receiving
both
positive
and
negative
responses
from
the
Netizens.
Some
criticize
the
actor
for
being
pro-BJP,
while
some
agree
his
stand
on
maintaining
peace
for
national
welfare.
Yesterday,
Makkal
Needhi
Maiam
(MNM)
Chief
Kamal
Haasan
met
the
protesting
students
of
Madras
University
in
Chennai.
Though
he
was
denied
entry
into
the
University
campus
he
spoke
with
the
students
by
standing
at
the
gate.
Kamal
has
earlier
criticised
the
attack
on
protesting
students
in
Delhi,
Assam
and
other
regions
as
an
'attack'
on
democracy.
He
was
quoted
saying,
"Democracy
is
in
ICU."
He
also
slammed
the
Centre
for
barring
Sri
Lankan
Tamils
who
are
Hindus
but
accepting
the
same
religious
group
from
Pakistan.
The
actor
expressed
his
concerns
over
the
violence
and
said
that
it
was
his
duty
as
a
political
leader
to
support
the
cause
of
students.
