Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) leader Kamal Haasan, who is slated to be sworn in as a Rajya Sabha MP on July 25th, has publicly expressed his profound gratitude for the well wishes extended by Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thirumavalavan.The Rajya Sabha seat was offered to Haasan by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) as a gesture of their alliance, following MNM’s support in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections where they campaigned for the DMK-led front without contesting any seats themselves.
Upon receiving personal congratulations from Thirumavalavan, Kamal Haasan took to his X platform (formerly Twitter) to convey his appreciation. He wrote, “I am moved by the love shown by my dear brother Thirumavalavan.” Both the Makkal Needhi Maiam and the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi are integral components of the broader DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu.
