After R Mahendran, former vice-president of Kamal Haasan’s Makkal Needhi Maiam, resigned from the party, two more member quit on Thursday citing personal reasons.
Haasan was not injured in the incident though his vehicle s windscreen was damaged. MNM leader and retired IPS officer A G Mourya tweeted that his party chief s car windscreen was damaged and the man who attempted to attack Haasan was handed over to the police. Mourya said the party would not be scared by such elements. His tweet was retweeted by the official Twitter handle of Makkal Needhi Maiam. Local television channels aired visuals of a young man, said to be the assailant, being taken away by police personnel for allegedly attacking Haasan s car. Police officials could not be reached immediately for a comment.
Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan was on Tuesday administered with the COVID-19 vaccine at a city hospital. The actor-politician was inoculated a day after the nationwide vaccination of 60 plus age group and those aged between 45-59 with co-morbidities was launched, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi receiving the first shot on Monday. I took the coronavirus vaccine at Sri Ramachandra Hospital. Those who care not only for themselves but also for others should get vaccinated, Haasan said in a tweet that was accompanied with a picture of him getting vaccinated. Immunisation of the body immediately (and) vaccination against corruption next month. Get ready, he said in an apparent reference to the April 6 Assembly elections.
