Kamal Haasan maiden speech in Rajya Sabha: 'Special Intensive Revision a disease giving rise to many living dead’
Kamal Haasan, actor-turned-MP and president of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), raised concerns about the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu during his maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha. He expressed support for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s opposition to the SIR, citing its negative impact on voter registration and claiming it could lead to a significant number of "living dead" voters. Nirmala Sitharaman, Finance Minister, responded by clarifying that she had not used derogatory language about the Tamil language as alleged by Haasan.
