Not Qualified To Talk About Language': Kamal Haasan Amid Row Over His Remarks
Kamal Haasan triggered a controversy with his recent remark at the audio launch of his upcoming film ‘Thug Life’ in chennai, where he claimed that 'Tamil gave birth to Kannada'.
Actor kamal haasan, who stoked a controversy with his claim that 'Tamil gave birth to Kannada', clarified on Wednesday saying politicians are not qualified to talk about language.
The clarification came after Haasan triggered a massive row with his recent remark at the audio launch of his upcoming film ‘Thug Life’ in chennai, where he claimed that 'Tamil gave birth to Kannada'.
"Politicians are not qualified to talk about language, they don’t have the education enough to talk about it - that includes me also. So let’s leave all these very in-depth discussions to the historians, archaeologists, and linguists," Haasan said at an event.
Haasan had made the controversial remarks during the audio launch of his latest film ‘Thug Life’ in chennai a couple of days ago. The comments have sparked outrage among several pro-Kannada outfits. These groups staged protests against Hassan in various parts of the state like Belagavi, Mysuru Hubballi, and Bengaluru, among others.
It also received sharp attack from several leaders, including karnataka Chief minister Siddaramaiah. Siddaramaiah said the kannada language has a very long history, and actor kamal haasan is unaware of it.
"Kannada language has a very long history....he (Kamal Hassan) doesn't know," Siddaramaiah told reporters. kamal haasan Amid Row Over His Remarks
