Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was “not yet fascist, but they are getting there” and reiterated the need “to ring the alarm bells”.
During an interaction with the board members and senior journalists of The Hindu in Chennai, Mr. Haasan said the path that the BJP government is on currently was not new and “it is the same script”.
“I am saying they are not yet fascist, but they are going in that direction. Calling them fascist is a bit early, but it is important to ring the alarm bells. They could change, but I don’t see any signs of them changing. We have seen this pattern before. They are not inventing anything. It is the same script,” the actor-politician said.
