Haasan’s comment didn’t goes well down with the people and several politicians.

Vivek Oberoi took to Twitter and wrote, “Dear Kamal sir, you are a great artist. Just like art has no religion, terror has no religion either! You can say Ghodse was a terrorist, why would you specify ‘Hindu’ ? Is it because you were in a Muslim dominated area looking for votes? @ikamalhaasan.”


Haasan had said at the rally that he is not making those comments because he was speaking in a Muslim-dominated area. “I am not saying this because many Muslims are here. I’m saying this in front of Gandhi’s statue. The first terrorist post India’s independence is a Hindu. His name is Nathuram Godse,” the actor-turned-politician reportedly said.
