Superstar Rajinikanth made a strong and official statement in 1991 against the Karnataka government for the abuse and mistreatment of Tamilians in the state, particularly amid the Cauvery water dispute tensions.
In this rare public intervention, Rajinikanth condemned the attacks on Tamils living in Karnataka and urged for peace, justice, and protection of Tamil people. His statement received widespread attention in Tamil media, with Thina Thanthi prominently covering it as front-page news.
