However, some notable personalities were
conspicuous with their absence. Among them
were Shankar, Manirathnam, Thangar Bachan,
Illayaraja, A.R. Rahman, Karthik, Napoleon,
Asin, Revathi, Suhasini etc. According to
our sources, most of them are sending in
their apologies and reasons for their absence
to pacify the respective affiliations they
are associated with. With the hunger strike
turning out to be a great success, it looks
like there might not be any strong action
against them if they provide a valid reason.
