Seeman takes a plunge

Nearly 170 directors of the film industry today gathered at the Andhra House and took some very important decisions regarding the continuation of protests against the atrocities against Tamils in Sri Lanka. The meeting headed by Bharathiraja decided that they would make director Seeman contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He would be standing against any of the Congress’s high profile candidates such as P. Chidambaram. According to the directors, the outcome of the elections would be

a good barometer of the amount of support they had from amongst the public in the protests that they were carrying out. If Seeman emerged victorious, the film industry would continue its protests with renewed vigor. If on the other hand, the director lost in the pools, it would be taken as a lack of backing from among the public and the directors would not take out any further protests. The constituency where Seeman will file his nomination will be announced soon.
