"Terrorists Abound In All Religions": Kamal Haasan Defends Godse Comment | Read
Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan today said he was "not intimidated" by the backlash over his comment that Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse, "independent India's first extremist", was a Hindu. "Terrorists abound in all religions. Around history, you can list many people from many religions. I was talking in that term. I said every religion has their own terrorist. You cannot claim that we are sanctimonious," Kamal Haasan told NDTV, appearing to defend his remarks that even led to slippers being thrown at him and a police complaint against him.
