Anti-Sterlite protest: Kollywood Actors express anger!
Share
As many as nine people have died after the police firing in Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin (Thoothukudi). An open fire was done against the protests of the Sterlite’s industrial plant against protestors.
The strike has been on against the Sterlite Copper unit, for a hundred days, especially since the company decided to double its capacity by investing 25 billion. The protesters are angry over the fact that the plant is causing health issues to its employees and increasing the capacity of the plant would aggravate the problems.
The incident has sparked a huge outrage all over the nation. Some of our Kollywood celebrities too are raging over the killings. From Rajinikanth to Kamal Haasan and Vishal to Siddharth, here’s what celebs have expressed about the incident.
1. Kamal Haasan
தம் மண்ணில் சென்ற வாரம் எனக்கு உற்சாக வரவேற்பளித்து அன்பைப் பொழிந்த தூத்துக்குடி சகோதர, சகோதரிகளின் சோகத்தில் பங்கேற்க தூத்துக்குடி சென்று கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்.

மக்களின் உணர்வுகளை மதிக்காத இந்த அரசின் அலட்சியப்போக்கின் விளைவாக இன்று பொதுமக்கள் சுடப்பட்டு உயிரிழப்புகள் ஏற்பட்டிருப்பது மிகவும் வருந்தத்தக்கது, கண்டிக்கத்தக்கது.நடந்த வன்முறை மற்றும் பொது ஜன உயிரிழப்புகளுக்கு தமிழகஅரசே பொறுப்பு.
