Ajith,
during his speech at the felicitation function
held for the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M
Karunanidhi, said that he attended the function
to salute the great leader for his untiring
efforts to uplift the downtrodden. He added
that he attended the event out of his free will
to laud the efforts of the CM for allocating
land for those in the film industry.
The actor, however, appealed to the CM to advise
the film personalities not to interfere in sensitive
and political issues. He remarked when issues
like Cauvery or Sri Lankan Tamils are brought
to the fore, the film industry people join the
stir. But this should be out of their free will.
When an actor or actress is not able to make
it to such events they are immediately branded
as traitors who do not have any feeling for
their language. Ajith said that such issues
are for the politicians and only they can handle
it deftly.
This speech of Ajith got him a standing ovation
from none other than Superstar Rajinikanth who
was seated beside the CM. He stood up to applaud
Ajith’s speech. |
