Kamal Haasan, the founder of the Makkal Needhi Maiam party, affirmed his support for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government as a commitment to national welfare rather than political greed. Addressing a gathering in Chennai, he stated that his party's backing stems from a righteous desire for good governance. Haasan emphasized the DMK's willingness to adopt his suggestions, which he viewed as a sign of mutual respect. He framed the current political environment as a struggle to protect the Indian Constitution and regional identity from external influences. Haasan invoked the legacy of B. R. Ambedkar, urging voters to safeguard the Constitution from selfish amendments. He called for vigilance during the upcoming elections on April 23, encouraging citizens to monitor voting machines closely to ensure their votes are accurately counted for the DMK's 'rising sun' symbol. His remarks highlight the importance of public engagement in democracy.
