Kamal Haasan Emphasizes Democratic Values
Renowned actor Kamal Haasan shared his perspective on X, highlighting the importance of dialogue over confrontation.
Glad to see dialogue replacing confrontation. Dissent deserves dialogue. This is democracy in action. Pellet guns, electric shock batons and nail-studded lathis have no place in the land of Bapu. Equally, attacks on security personnel and public property must be examined. Accountability cannot be selective.
He continued by welcoming the government’s willingness to engage in discussions.
We must now ensure that this dialogue leads to lasting reforms. The road ahead is long, but Indians must walk it together.
