All set to begin his political pilgrimage, actor Kamal Haasan has revealed his plan to adopt a village and convert it into a model one inclusive of all infrastructure facilities including better schooling, access to drinking water and transport facilities. His initiative is a part of his effort to challenge the status quo in the Tamil Nadu politics, he wrote in a column.
Naming his tour 'Naalai Namadhey' (Tomorrow is ours), title of former chief minister and actor MG Ramachandran's movie, Haasan said that if the people are reminded of him, nothing wrong in it as they were good memories. His tour will start on February 21, the day when he will also launch his political party in his native Ramanathapuram district and release his party's guiding principles. He reminded his fans of the various welfare activities undertaken by him and his fans association.
Haasan also took a dig at the ruling AIADMK government's free laptop scheme. He said that he would not accept the argument that one would get knowledge by getting a laptop. People should be taught the art of catching fish as that alone would ensure them a life of self-respect, he said.
