We all now about actor Kamal Haasan’s remarks on Mahabharat and the controversies he is facing due to it. Today Pranavananda Swami of Basaveshwara Mutt in Karnataka flayed actor Kamal Haasan for his alleged insulting remarks on ‘Mahabharat’ and demanded an apology from him.
Parvananda Swami said, “It is unbecoming of actor Kamal Haasan to hurt the sentiments of any religious community, including Christians and Muslims. He has been in thick of controversies even in past, and we demand he should apologise.”
In an interview on March 12, Kamal Haasan said, “In Mahabharata, Panchali has used a pawn while the men gambled. She was used as a collateral. And India is a country that respects and honours a book that revolves around men using a woman to gamble away as if she was a mere object.”
Swami Ji further said the actor had always been in news for ‘hurting’ the sentiments of religious communities and threatened to take legal action if he did not apologise for the controversial remarks.
He said, “He should apologise in next three days, or else he must face legal action.” After the actor’s remark, a complaint has been filed against him in a court in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu by Hindu Makkal Katchi.
