Tamil superstar-turned-politician Rajinikanth today protested against the delay in setting up the Cauvery Management Board as directed by the Supreme Court. Kamal Haasan, who has also entered politics recently and floated his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam, has also joined the protests.
The thalaivaar said conducting IPL matches in the state, which is on the boil, is an "embarrassment". He also said that players and spectators should be allowed to sport black bands inside the stadiums in protest.
The protests have also drawn support from other top Tamil actors, including Dhanush, Vijay, Surya, Sathyaraj, Sivakumar, Nassar, Vishal, Karthi, Sivakarthikeyan and Padma Vibhushan awardee and music director Ilaiyaraaja.
Tamil Nadu has witnessed a number of agitations, state-wide shutdown by opposition parties, hunger strike by political parties, arrests of politicians and protests by farmer groups demanding immediate action in the Cauvery issue.
