“Some of my fans along with expelled cadres of Rajini Makkal Mandram have protested in Chennai against my decision of not entering politics. I have taken my decision, I appeal to everyone to not indulge in such things (protest) as it pains me,” he stated.
On Sunday, scores of his fans took to streets, demanding him to withdraw his decision of not joining politics. The protests come days after he publically ruled out joining politics citing his frail health.
A large number of protesters converged at Chennai’s Valluvar Kottam and raised slogans such as "Vaa Thalaiva Vaa" (Come leader come), urging him to embark on his political journey as assured earlier and usher in a new era in Tamil Nadu politics.
The Rajini Makkal Mandram (RMM) has also asked the members of the group and the fans to not join any such protests and further “hurt” the veteran actor.
It is to be noted that the Tamil superstart has a cult-following which was clearly seen in Sunday’s demonstration as scores of fans from different parts of the state wished him good health but at the same time demanded that he should join politics. They were seen carrying posters of the actor, even as hit songs from some of his movies were played there.
