Agra: A Muslim youth leader from Aligarh has announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for anyone who blackens veteran actor Kamal Hassan’s face, blaming him for trying to drive a wedge between the two communities.Dubbing Hassan “anti-national”, Mohd Aamir Rashid, president of Muslim Youths’ Association in Aligarh, said that he would pay the reward to anyone who blackens his face.Talking to TOI, Rashid said, “If Hindus turn extremists then no other community in the country would be safe.” He said, “Anyone trying to create differences between the two communities by such remarks needs to be silenced by cutting his tongue too.”Rashid said that Hassan wants to enter politics by making such “strong and provocative” statements.In his column in a Tamil magazine that had hit the stands on Thursday, the 62-year-old actor had said that the right-wingers could no longer say “show me a Hindu terrorist if you can; terrorism has spread into their fold too.”This came as a response to a question asked by Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who had asked for the actor’s opinion on “the attempt by Hindutva forces to infiltrate into Tamil Nadu”.
