Hindu Mahasabha incites people to shoot Kamal Haasan dead

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Leaders from the radical Hindu outfit say any person using abusive language for Hindus does not have the right to live in India and “should get death”

Days after Tamil film icon Kamal Haasan red-flagged the issue of “Hindu terrorists” and drew the ire of the BJP-RSS combine, it appears that radical Hindu outfit, the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, has resolved to prove that the actor’s contentious remarks weren’t off the mark.

Several leaders of the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, an organisation ideologically and functionally associated with the BJP’s parent organisation, the RSS, have demanded that “Kamal Haasan and the likes of him should either be shot dead or hanged (sic)”.

The Hindu Mahasabha, like the BJP and RSS, is irked by comments made by Haasan in his column for the Tamil weekly Ananda Vikatan earlier this week. Haasan had said: “In the past, Hindu right-wing groups would not indulge in violence, but they would hold a dialogue with the opposite parties on their arguments. But this old tactic was defeated and what they started to do is use muscle power. They started indulging in violence…the right wing cannot challenge talk of Hindu terrorists because terror has spread into their camp as well.”

On Friday, Hindu Mahasabha’s national vice president Ashok Sharma said in Meerut: “Any person who uses abusive language for people belonging to Hindu faith does not have the right to live on this holy land and they should get death in return of their remarks.” In a remark that was obviously meant to incite Hindu radicals to attack Haasan, Sharma added: “Kamal Haasan and likes of him should either be shot dead or hanged”.

Sharma’s comments came on a day when a defamation case was also filed against Haasan in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency of Varanasi by a lawyer named Kamlesh Chandra Tripathi for making the “derogatory remarks against the Hindu community”.

The Hindu Mahasabha’s decry, which sounds strikingly similar to instructions issued by the Taliban in Afghanistan against people they consider ‘non believers’, was not been condemned by any member of the BJP or the RSS till the time of filing this report.

The Hindu Mahasabha has also called for boycott of films starring Haasan while a Times of India report also quoted Abhishek Agarwal, president of the Meerut chapter of the outfit, as saying: “all party members have pledged that we will boycott all the movies which star him (Kamal Haasan) and his family members. In fact, all the Indians should pledge the same. The people who insult Hindus and their religion should not be forgiven.”

Earlier the BJP too had hit out at Haasan, who is planning to foray into politics, over his “Hindu terrorists” remark with the saffron party’s spokesperson GVL Narsimha Rao comparing the Tamil superstar with Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba’s chief Hafiz Saeed.

“We have seen in the past decade how Sonia Gandhi-Rahul Gandhi led Congress party drew a strategy of maligning the Indian society and Hindu community only to appease the Muslim vote bank. It was done by the former home ministers P. Chidambaram and Sushil Kumar Shinde…When Kamal Hassan makes similar comments, he is actually joining the ranks of P. Chidambaram, Hafiz Saeed and is possible angling to become an extension of the Congress Party…Haasan is trying to appease Muslim fundamentalists and anti-Hindu zealots to emerge as a fringe group,” Rao had said.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s firm response against terrorism and highlighted the country’s commitment to national security.

Marking one year of the operation, the Prime Minister praised the courage, precision and professionalism of the Indian armed forces. He said the military action was carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that had claimed the lives of 26 civilians in 2025.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, as a calibrated tri-services operation targeting terror infrastructure linked to cross-border terrorism. Reports said the operation showcased coordinated action by the armed forces and was seen as a major counter-terror response by India.

On the anniversary of the operation, PM Modi also changed the display pictures across his social media platforms, including X, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The image carried the text “Operation Sindoor” along with the Indian tricolour design.

The Indian Air Force also shared visuals and messages recalling the operation and highlighting India’s military response. A video released by the force described the operation as a strong message against terrorism and referred to the precision strikes carried out during the mission.

Operation Sindoor was launched following the Pahalgam terror attack, after which India carried out strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, according to official statements and reports published at the time.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar again on Thursday as his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), continued efforts to prove it has enough support to form the next government in the state.

TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly after winning 108 seats, but it remains short of the majority mark of 118.

The Congress has extended support to TVK, adding five MLAs to Vijay’s side. However, the alliance still needs additional backing from other parties or independents to comfortably cross the halfway mark.

According to reports, the Governor has not yet been fully convinced that TVK currently has the required numbers to form a stable government. This has delayed clarity over the swearing-in ceremony and the formal invitation to form the government.

Political activity intensified after reports emerged that some AIADMK legislators were moved to a resort in Puducherry amid speculation over possible support to TVK. AIADMK leaders, however, publicly denied any internal crisis.

TVK sources have expressed confidence that the party will be able to demonstrate majority support during discussions with the Governor.

The Tamil Nadu election results marked a major political shift in the state, with TVK breaking the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in its first Assembly election contest.
