Court directs Kamal Haasan to appear before it on May 5 for defaming Mahabharata

Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, Apr 21 (UNI) A lower court in Tamil Nadu today directed popular actor Kamal Haasan to appear before it on May 5 in connection with a complaint filed before it for making derogatory remarks against epic Mahabharata and Hinduism.

In his petition filed before the Judicial Magistrate (JM) court in Valliyoor here on March 21, one V Authinatha Sundaram said that Kamal Haasan made certain controversial comments, while participating in a programme hosted by a Tamil television news channel on March 12. When the anchor asked the actor’s opinion about violence meted out to women, particularly in the film industry in the recent times, Haasan replied that Mahabharata narrates a gambling tale in which a woman was used as a pawn and pledged. This book (Mahabharata) is appreciated in this land and thus, it is not surprising that such incidents of violence take place against women, he had said.
