As we had reported earlier Kamal Haasan had said that if MGR was the CM he would have gone to Marina to meet the Jallikattu protesters. With that comment, the veteran actor hinted that Tamil Nadu CM O.Panneerselvam should have met the protesters.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy who always posts controversial and abusive comments against Tamils has strongly criticised Kamal for his opinion. He has gone to the extent of terming it "foolish".

How foolish for cinemawallah Kamalhasan to suggest that CM should have met the demonstrators. CM tried in Madurai and what happened?

Swamy's comment has lead to heated discussion in twitter with his supporter defending and others including Kamal fans are trolling him.

It is worth noting that earlier this week Kamal while speaking at an event gave a sharp retort to Swamy's habit of calling Tamil people as Pourkkis. Read Here: "Yes I am a Tamil Porukki"- Kamal Haasan

We hope the Ulaganayagan will come up with another sharp and smart counter for the veteran politician's direct attack on him.
