Ghazini hero Suriya’s emotional letter in social media defending himself after being attacked verbally by BJP & AIADMK leaders became talk of the town in Kollywood and Tamil political circles. Details as below.

The issue started last week when Suriya criticized ‘National Education Policy (NEP)’ proposed by central government. He commented that as per Draft NEP, the focus is on exams, qualifying exams and entrance exams, but not on accessible quality education to all students.” He also criticized the proposed 3 language formula that already caused a lot of controversy in Tamil Nadu.

His comments drew flak from Tamil Nadu BJP leaders and the state Education minister (AIADMK). Both criticized that Suriya is disturbing peace in the state with malicious intentions. However, actor turned politician Kamal Hassan supported Surya and commented on social media that, “Brother Suriya has my support. He has every right to talk about education as Suriya’s family has done a lot for educational development of the poor,” he added.

Suriya wrote an emotional letter in reply to these comments and questioned that, as India, he has right to speak his mind and his intention is governments should strive for providing quality education to all. He questioned political parties that are targeting him, whether he doesn’t have the right to question anything in this country. Already his fans are supporting him and arguing that there is nothing wrong in his statements and BJP and AIADMK need to understand we are in a democracy but not an autocracy.
