Kamal Haasan
COIMBATORE: Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan hit out at the state government for removing flags and display boards of the party in Coimbatore.
“They have torn MNM posters and removed flags. I thank the respectful people who ordered for removal of those posters and the corporation officials for doing that,’’ he said after landing at Coimbatore airport on Sunday for the fifth phase of his campaign.
Kamal said he was a saddened by the fact that police personnel were made to tear the posters. “I was not upset to see my posters torn, but was sad to see that our policemen were made to do that. They have other important work. Allow them to discharge their duties rather than making them do such work as removing posters,” Kamal said.
