Addressing the media on Wednesday regarding the controversy surrounding BJP national secretary H Raja’s remarks on Periyar statues, Kamal Haasan said such a comment is a wicked act. “No one can cause any harm to Periyar’s dignity or his statues in Tamil Nadu,” the Makkal Needhi Maiam founder said. Kamal Haasan also warned that the controversy should not distract people from the demand for the Cauvery Management Board. Police protection is needed for H Raja, not for Periyar statues, the actor-turned-politician said adding that Tamils know how to protect Periyar’s statues and his honour.
