The decision of Thalaivar Rajinikanth to visit Sri Lanka and participate in an event where newly built homes were to be given to war torn Eelam Tamil families, irked politicians of Tamil Nadu so much that it made him cancel the trip, India Today reported.
Rajinikanth had specifically mentioned that he wished to visit the place where the ‘holy war’ occurred and it was not right to politicise it. Meanwhile, Gnanam, the NGO owned by Lyca, called this debacle an outcome of politicians acting on lies and rumours.
A discreet statement released by Gnanam stated that the event was scheduled to provide 150 homes to war torn Tamil families from Vavuniya. The houses were designed to contain two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.
“An event to hand over the deeds of the newly built houses to the 150 families was going to be held on April 9 in Jaffna. Superstar Rajinikanth was invited to take part in this momentous charity and he readily agreed,” claimed the statement.
Superstar Rajinikanth had agreed to visit Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi, Vavuniya, Mannar, Triconamalee and Batticaloa which were all LTTE strongholds earlier.
