After a long acid test actor Kamal Haasan decided to establish his new political party, he launched it on Wednesday and the party name he announced is “Makkal Needhi Maiam” at a gala event in Madurai. He also unveiled the party symbol. The event was also attended by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Party Symbol Meaning:
The party symbol has six arms interlinked around a star at the center and is in the colors of red, white and black. The party flag, which is primarily white, carries the symbol along with the party name. “This is a party for you, for the people. I am your instrument, you are the leaders, this is a crowd full of leaders,” Haasan said.
Speaking at the unveiling of his party at the Othakadai Grounds in Madurai, Kamal said in Tamil, “If you look closely, you will find the new map of south India. The six hands stand for the six states. The six-pointed star represents you and people’s justice.”
The name of the party roughly translates to the Centre for People’s Justice in English. Kamal Haasan said, “People ask me what is this ‘Maiam?’, and if I am on the left or the right? That is why I kept the name ‘Maiam’, which means center.”
Early, Kamal Haasan has spoken out against the Tamil Nadu government as well as the southern states getting a raw deal from the center. With topics of Hindi imposition seeing a resurgence in public discourse over the past year, Kamal Haasan’s flag depicting the southern states occupies great significance in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape.
