Kamal Haasan took to his Twitter handle about the hijab row, said, "What is happening in Ktaka is provoking unrest. In the pure hearts of students, a poisonous religious wall is being erected. What is happening in the neighbouring state should not happen in TN. It's time for progressive forces to stay alert."
கர்நாடகாவில் நடப்பது கலக்கத்தைத் தூண்டுகிறது. கள்ளமில்லா மாணவர்கள் மத்தியில் மதவாத விஷச் சுவர் எழுப்பப்படுகிறது. ஒற்றைச் சுவர் தாண்டியிருக்கும் பக்கத்து மாநிலத்தில் நடப்பது தமிழ்நாட்டுக்கும் வந்துவிடக் கூடாது. முற்போக்கு சக்திகள் மேலும் கவனமாக இருக்க வேண்டிய காலம் இது.
