Kamal Haasan stirs controversy over Hindu terror remark

Addressing an election campaign in Tamil Nadu's Aravakurichi, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan made a controversial remark on the first terrorist in India. Referring to Nathuram Godse, who killed Mahatma Gandhi, the Vishwaroopam actor said that the first terrorist of independent India was a Hindu.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has now demanded the arrest of Kamal Haasan over the actor-politician's remark that Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse was independent India's first terrorist.
