Kamal Haasan, an actor-turned-politician and the leader of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), took part in the Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra on Saturday in New Delhi. "Many people asked me why I'm here," Haasan remarked during a speech at the Red Fort. I'm an Indian who is here. My father served in the congress. Even though I founded my own political party and had a variety of views, when it comes to the country, all party lines must be blurred. In order to get here, I crossed that line. The MNM leader had earlier claimed that Congressman Rahul Gandhi had written to him and invited him to participate in the Bharat Jodo Yatra as a fellow citizen rather than as the leader of a political party.
