Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan, who kickstarted his political career by encouraging people to participate in local gram sabha meetings on Tuesday, charged that local bodies in Tamil Nadu are forced to fight for their rights against State government administration.
Mr. Haasan said a Panchayat leader had filed a case stating that State government and district administration cannot interfere in the decision of local bodies to hold gram sabha meetings.
“The case was heard yesterday (Monday). In Tamil Nadu, the local bodies are being forced to fight and win over its rights,” he alleged.
