Legendary actor Kamal Haasan shared his views on the ongoing students protest at Jantar Mantar Delhi. The Tamil veteran mentioned the government’s willingness to hold talks with the protesting students. He said replacing confrontation with dialogue is a positive step for democracy and called for reforms in the education system.

Kamal Haasan welcomes dialogueKamal Haasan took to his X handle to write, “Glad to see dialogue replacing confrontation. Dissent deserves dialogue. This is democracy in action.”

He further suggested that accountability cannot be selective, saying, “Pellet guns, electric shock batons and nail-studded lathis have no place in the land of Bapu. Equally, attacks on security personnel and public property must be examined fairly. Accountability cannot be selective.”


Kamal Haasan calls for major education reformsKamal Haasan said the current situation is much bigger than the alleged paper leak controversy. He believes this is the right time to improve the country's education system.

He wrote, “This moment and opportunity is bigger than paper leaks. I urge a National Commission on Education and Examination Reform, with a three-month roadmap to restore trust in examinations, reduce academic stress and modernise education, one that also hears Tamil Nadu's voice, where young Anitha's death first showed the human cost of a single high-stakes test.”

He added, “The Government's willingness to engage is welcome. Now let us ensure that dialogue leads to lasting reform. The road ahead is long, but Indians must walk it together.”

Earlier, Kamal Haasan had also spoken in support of the protesting students. He expressed concern about the pressure faced by young people and questioned the education system.

He wrote, “We should have listened when one child cried. Instead, we waited until far too many of our children died. A system where coaching replaces learning, anxiety replaces curiosity, and criminality replaces merit is rotten. A nation has failed when its children are met with barricades and batons instead of answers.”

Kamal Haasan’s work frontOn the acting front, Kamal Haasan was last seen in the action drama film ‘Thug Life’. He will be next seen in multiple big projects including collaborations with another Tamil veteran Rajinikanth.
