more-in Naam Tamilar Katchi leader Seeman on Tuesday met actor Kamal Haasan a day before the latter is scheduled to launch his political party in Madurai. Mr. Seeman, who strongly opposes actor Rajinikanth's proposed foray into politics and often identifies the latter as a non-Tamil, told journalists that he has been a big fan of Mr. Haasan since his younger days. Mr. Haasan's family has been helping people in fighting court cases in his hometown Paramakudi, he said. Asked if there is a possibility that they could get together electorally, Mr Kamal Haasan said that it could be considered only after he formally announces the policies that his party would follow. "Only after those announcements, Mr. Seeman can make his decision. I am meeting political party leaders in an attempt to reclaim the lost tradition... He is here to wish me well for my political journey," said Mr. Haasan. Mr. Haasan said he would not meet ruling AIADMK leaders. "I have been saying that they are unfit to govern the state." There should be a greater participation of people in politics. "It is my wish that everyone must get involved in politics. It cannot be left to those who are already doing it," he said.
