Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan on Sunday has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the new Parliament building project, and questioned him the need for such huge amount being spent, “when half of India is starving” amid the crisis of coronavirus.

Hasan tweeted, when half of India is starving after losing its livelihood due to the coronavirus, why build a Parliament worth Rs 1,000 crore? He questioned the PM to explain as to why the new parliament is being constructed? He questioned the PM to explain as to who are they going to protect in the new Parliament?

It is reported that Haasan’s tweet came hours before he launched his party Makkal Needhi Maiam’s campaign for the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. His main aim of his party would be the complete transformation of Tamil Nadu.
