'Education only way': Kamal Haasan's plan to defeat 'Sanatan, dictatorship'; RS MP says 'don't take anything else in your hands'

NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan advocated for education , terming it as a necessity to break the chains of " dictatorship and Sanatan ". He warned against using any other means, emphasizing that without education, it's impossible to truly win, as "majority fools" could still make one lose.

"Education is the only weapon that can break the chains of dictatorship and Sanatan," ANI quoted the Rajya Sabha MP saying on Sunday. He was addressing a gathering at the Agaram Foundation event in Chennai.

"Don't take anything else in your hands, only education. We cannot win without it, because the majority can make you lose. Majority Fools (Moodargal) will make u lose; knowledge alone will seem defeated. That's why we must hold on to it (Education) firmly," he added.

Earlier this year, Haasan had faced backlash for his remark on Kannada language during the promotion of his movie Thug Life, for which the actor refused to apologise. The move had attracted Karnataka HC's intervention for not issuing an apology.

The Supreme Court then intervened and ruled that the Karnataka HC was wrong to demand an apology from Haasan over his Kannada remarks.
