Confirming his political plunge, actor Kamal Haasan on
Sunday said the first step will be the launch of a mobile software app on
November 7 - his 63rd birthday - that will enable him to be in touch with the
fans and as well as enable book-keeping.
At a function to mark the 39th
anniversary of his fan/welfare club, he said his political plunge by starting a
political party is confirmed.
Haasan said the political party launch will
happen in a calm manner and the launch of mobile app is the first step on
November 7.
He said his fans would contribute funds for the political
party and the mobile app will facilitate keeping proper accounts of funds
collected.
According to him, there is no shame in stretching out one's
hands for the welfare of the people and if only the rich pay their taxes
properly, the country would be on the right path.
Kamal said November 7
is a day not to cut a cake and celebrate but a day to cut canals, obliquely
referring to the flooding of several localities in the city due to recent rains.
The actor added natural disasters does not differentiate between rich and
poor and all should be ready to take preventive measures then acting after the
loss of dear ones.
According to him, suppression has become part of
politics and it is not important how many people are threatening you, but what
is important is what you are going to do.
The actor said he is ready to
take a beating but he is not a "mridangam" (a percussion instrument) to get hit
again and again.
