I have not insulted anyone: Rajini
IndiaGlitz [Monday, April 07, 2008]

'I have not the hurt the sentiments of the Kannadiga', says Rajinikanth.

Talking to a Kannada news channel, Rajinikanth said, 'I have never hurt the sentiments of any Kannadiga by taking part in the protest against Karnataka for attacking Tamil establishments over the Hogenakkal Joint Drinking Water Scheme.

'It is a malicious propaganda unleashed against me by some people. I am not an unwise person to pass remarks that offend the sentiments of the people of Karnataka'.

Upset by the storm of criticism his remarks evoked in Karnataka, including a demand for his apology and threats to block screening of his films, the actor said: 'Do these people who are demanding my apology represent 5.5 crore Kannadigas?

'I haven't done any wrong. But I am not averse to tendering an apology if I had committed any wrong,' he said. 'If stalwarts like Parvathamma Rajkumar, Vishnuvardhan, Girish Karnad demand my apology, I will certainly tender.'

i knew some of these kannada politicians would create a big fuss over rajini's statement. today in sun news, i saw rajini's little clip justifying his statement during the hunger strike. he spoke in kannadam & seemed very clear in whom his anger was directed at.👏👏

these people are ridiculous! they say they won't allow rajini's films to be screen in karnataka if he doesn't apologise. rajini cleverly replied that if his films are banned from karnataka it's will not be his loss.😆😆

i think even the karnataka politicians should realise that rajini is telling the truth when he said that. for a superstar like rajini who is adored by millions in india & across the world, this boycott of his filma would just be like a pesky fly waiting to be flicked away.

what do you guys feel about rajini's statement & his counter statement?😛

^ well they can watch their thalaivar's films if they come over to TN. this might be a blessing in disguise for TN because business will boom if those karnataka tamils come over to TN to watch their idol's films. or are they not even allowed to do that? politics confuse me immensely sometimes.😆😆

Its all about some dirty politics, esp now since its election time over there..they are using sensitive issues🤢 Fighting between us for natural resource like water...shame on us!

Anyway, it wont be any loss for Rajini, only for his fans
Rajini did the right thing I guess 😕

Ayyo .. yen indha kola veri?
When you read top reporting mags like "JV" or "Reporter", you feel very bad for the tamils who were beaten up so badly, while they were watching Tamil movies in theatres.

Yes, like Meli said, their elections are coming up in the 2nd week of May and something quick had to be done by each party to show Kannadigas, that they will do anything for their people and be remembered, at least till the elections. Adhukunnu ippadiya? 😲
Vera yedhaavadhu constructive aa panni locals kitta nalla per vaangalaame?
