Parliament Budget Session Day 6 LIVE: “Parliament will roll over differences, but should never roll over people,” says Kamal Haasan in RS

Kamal Haasan, MNM MP, makes his maiden speech in Rajya Sabha. Many doors open to let people of various fields to enter this House to speak for their people, and my door opened through cinema. He says that he was ushered into fame by cinema and introduced to Tamil history, and was confronted with a confusing reality that did not reflect the promises made in our Constitution that India is a union of states. He says that he was introduced to Tamil by C.N Annadurai, who taught us to confront any invasion on our language, our culture and our rights. 

Speaking about parliament, he says that this democratic juggernaut will roll over differences, but should never roll over people. We will not allow it, he says. Nobody is immortal and no government can or should aim for permanency, no government in the history of this world have achieved it and none ever will, he says. This government also falls under the universal unwritten political law, he says. The children are watching, Gen Z is watching, please let them grow up along with a growing progressive democracy, then at least tomorrow will be ours, he says.
