Case Against Kamal Haasan In Varanasi Over 'Terror Remark'

Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan's recent remark that "terrorism has infected right-wing groups" not only earned him the wrath of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), but a complaint has also been filed against the actor for "hurting" religious sentiments. A court in Varanasi will today hear a plea against Kamal Haasan, moved by lawyer Kamlesh Chandra Tripathi, who sought directions for the actor to refrain from making such comments.
