Makkal Needhi Maiam party vice president R Mahendran resigned yesterday, however, now Kamal Haasan has called him betrayer and said that the former was about to be sacked from the party anyway and expressed joy that “a weed” has removed itself out from the party.
Days after a defeat in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, Mahendran on Thursday resigned from the party, alleging that “there is no democracy in the party”.
In a statement, Kamal Haasan said in his bid to bring a change to Tamil Nadu the party had faced its first Assembly elections.
“We faced our first State Assembly Elections with the sole objective of ‘Re-Imagining Thamizh Nadu’. We worked to our best in the war,” he said.
Kamal Haasan said that Mahendran the biggest example for the fact that democracy sometimes fails and accused that he had lied to take the faces of the people who gave him the identity.
“He claims there is no democracy in the party. He is the biggest example for the fact that democracy sometimes fails. He has lied to take the faces of the people who gave him the identity.”
Kamal Haasan further said that they witnessed the fact that they faced not just opponents from the other side but also betrayers from within. “Remove the betrayers resonated the unanimous voice of the party. Dr Mahendran was on top of that list,” he said.
“He tried to pre-empt his removal by resigning. Just like you, I am happy about the fact that a weed removed itself. It will be ascendancy for our party henceforth,” said Kamal Haasan.
