A short while ago, actor-politician Rajinikanth tweeted a shocking video of a man assaulting a police officer during the Cauvery Issue protest against the IPL match between CSK and KKR yesterday, April 10. He also added a strong condemnation of such violence against uniformed policemen.

Tamilisai Soundararajan, BJP politician, although of a different party, came in support of Rajinikanth's statement. Her tweet read:

"பொதுமக்களைப்பாதிக்கும் அளவிற்கு..சட்டம்ஒழுங்கைப்பாதிக்கும் அளவிற்கு...நடந்துகொள்ளும் வன்முறையாளர்களை எதிர்த்திருப்பது...சரியானதே...."

Roughly translated, it read: "Opposing violent individuals who act in ways that affect civilians and law & order is indeed the right thing to do."
