On the occasion of National Voters day, Kamal Haasan put out a tweet conveying a strong message to youth. In his tweet, he said," The voting rights gives us the opportunity to sculpt our collective destiny, our collective future. Start sculpting the country's freedom with responsibility. Young minds always have a wish list, a time bound bucket list. Please put the Need to vote on top of the list. I put it in 3rd or 4th place, Many of my friends were even worse, they did not vote. Now we suffer the consequences".

With the Lok Sabha elections just months away, Kamal Haasan during a recent interaction with media said his party was willing to join hands with like-minded parties who are against corruption and focused on making Tamil Nadu a progressive state.

"The Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) is ready to join hands with those parties, who dream to make Tamil Nadu a progressive State and also corruption-free," Haasan said.

When asked about him contesting the Lok Sabha elections, he said it would be decided by the party.

The party would discuss all these issues in detail since it was formed for the benefit of Tamil Nadu and not individuals, the MNM chief added.
