Tuticorin violence: 'Is it Rajinikanth’s voice?' asks Stalin

CHENNAI: A day after actor Rajinikanth said ‘anti-social elements’ were behind the Tuticorin violence, DMK working president M K Stalin said the actor should identify them. “Let us wait and see if he does,” Stalin told reporters in Puducherry.
To persistent queries from reporters at the Chennai airport on his return from Tuticorin, Rajinikanth, who lost his cool, said frequent protests in the state would turn it into a graveyard. He said the agitation turned violent only after the protesters attacked the police and that he would not accept attacks on police personnel.



Stalin said he had doubts whether it was Rajini’s “own voice” given that BJP and AIADMK are on the same plane. “I doubt if it was (Rajini’s voice). Whatever it be, he is a superstar,” the DMK leader said.

The DMK leader, who led protests over various issues in the recent months, said that life itself was a struggle and nothing could be achieved without protests. “Be it anti-Hindi, Independence or Jallikattu, I hope he knows they were made possible only because of protests.”
