Kamal Haasan comments on student voicing anti-BJP in Thoothukudi

After voicing out anti-BJP slogans on Monday against BJP at the party's regional head, Tamilisai Soundararajan in Thoothukudi, Sophia Lois was arrested.

 

The PhD student from Canada on seeing Soundararajan at Thoothukudi airport voiced out openly against BJP. Sophia was later released on bail on Tuesday.

 

Many political leaders and film personalities commented on the issue. Following the trend, actor-politician and Makkal Needhi Maiam's leader Kamal Haasan too expressed his views on Twitter.

 

Haasan wrote, "If raising voice and criticising in public is a crime then politicians are criminals to be arrested. We have to bring the free bird Sophia from jail on bail. Why are politicians roaming outside? I am speaking knowing that I am a politician."
