Actor-politician Kamal Haasan, the chief of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) known for his religious hatred remarks against Hindus, has caught into another yet another controversy.

While talking about women’s issues on a stage yesterday he said, “Gods too wear less dress. A few Gods don’t wear any dress. When the mind is not spoiled by seeing those Gods, how come it is spoiled while seeing my sisters”. This statement of the MNM chief has invited severe backlash.

While addressing the women audience Kamal Haasan said, “I have never felt shy to speak in front of women. Because my house was mostly dominated by women. Women play an important role in the transformation of the world. Even before Gandhiji, women took part in the freedom struggle. They say that women wearing less dress is the reason for the rape crimes. Gods too wear less dress. A few Gods don’t wear any dress. When you don’t get the urge on seeing ‘that’, how come you feel the urge while seeing my sisters. It is mutual consent when there is love but when they want to have that without love, then is the problem”, said Kamal Haasan.

He kept adding that, “Women voters are more than men voters. Women voters are 80 lakhs more than men voters. If women think, there will be a political change in Tamilnadu. In 234 constituencies, we have only 20 MLAs and 4 Ministers. Women in the party should work hard and you will get full support from the high command.”

This remark of his comes just within days after he refused the ‘poornakumbham’ honours offered by Hindu priests on behalf of a Murugan Temple in Kanchipuram on December 21.  According to sources, a member belonging to Kamal Haasan’s party and known to one of the Sivachariyars had approached to make arrangements for welcoming Kamal Haasan. Since the person was known to the priest, he had obliged to the request. However, they did not expect that the actor-politician would refuse it.
