Kamal Haasan, the President of Makkal Needhi Maiam, stated that he welcomes the Economic Package announced by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. At the same time, he stated that he doubts if the scheme benefits the middle-class and poor. He also noted that everyone in the nation, including him, had been waiting if the benefits announced by the PM will reach the people on time. Kamal posted on his Twitter: “உணவின்றி அழும் குழந்தைக்கும், பணமின்றி தவிக்கும் ஏழைக்கும், இப்போதேனும் அறிவித்திருக்கும் பிரதமரின் திட்டத்தை வரவேற்கிறோம். அதேநேரம் நடுத்தர, அடித்தட்டு ஏழை மக்களுக்கும் இத்திட்டம் பலனளிக்குமா? காலத்தே கிடைக்குமா என நான் மட்டுமல்ல ஒட்டுமொத்த நாடும் கவனித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.”
Kamal not only criticizes when he finds something inappropriate but also appreciates when he finds something useful from the PM’s announcement. In the professional front, he will be seen next in “Indian 2” directed by “S Shankar” and produced by LYCA Productions.
