Kamal Haasan cautions people against accepting money for votes
'Doesn't matter who offers bribe, those who accept it should be ashamed'
Tamil Nadu Assembly elections will be held on 16 May
"I am not bothered who is or which party is giving (money), but should not the one accepting (it) be ashamed," he told a Tamil TV channel in Chennai.
One would forfeit the locus standig to question a minister for non-performance or accuse a politician of corruption as accepting cash for vote itself is a similar act, he said.
"If you accept (money) then you will only get a thief as a leader," he said responding to a question on voters being lured with money during elections.
Mr Haasan said people should have a sense of "my house, my country" and added that politicians who give money will not address concerns of the people who accept it.
"You don't accept (money), then you can question the politicians," he said.
