Chennai: Actor-politician Kamal Haasan said on Wednesday that conversations were underway for his party's political alliance, adding that it would support any bloc that would "selflessly" care about the nation while refraining from engaging in "feudal politics." Addressing reporters here after heading the 7th-anniversary celebrations for his Makkal Needhi Maiam, Haasan also hailed top Tamil actor Vijay's new political entry, PTI reported.
Asked if MNM will join the multi-party opposition INDIA bloc, he said, "I have already told, this is the time when you have to blur party politics and think about the nation. Anybody who thinks selflessly about the nation, my MNM will be part of it." However, MNM won't join hands with those doing "local feudal politics," he said.
Asked if he has joined the INDIA grouping, he said, "no, I haven't." On his party's possible political alliance, he said "discussions are on," and that any "good news" in this regard will be communicated to the media.
The question was asked in the backdrop of speculations that Haasan's party was involved in alliance talks with Chief Minister M K Stalin-led DMK for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
MNM had earlier faced the 2019 LS polls and the 2021 TN Assembly elections but failed to put up an impressive show.
