Sivasena praises Rajini’s stand

“Rajinikant  is one of the rare persons who has been true to the culture of Maharashtra. This is because he has take the side of the state which has made him big”, said an article in Sivasena mouthpiece Saamna. Praising Rajini for openly supporting Tamil’s cause in the Hogenakkal issue, Saamna observed as above.

Sivasena has been severely critical that Amitabh Bachchan has not done enough to Maharashtra even though he made his name and fame in Mumbai. In their continuous attack on the Big B, they chose to draw a parallel between Big B and the Super Star. Rajini born in Maharashtra, grew up in Karnataka but eventually made it big (very big) in Tamilnadu, chose to side with Tamilnadu on important issues. Whereas Amitabh was born in Uttar Pradesh, but Mumbai is where he made his career. The article questioned how many actors in Mumbai would have the guts to agitate for a cause of Mumbai.

Although the article didn’t name Amitabh Bachchan by name, it was quite apparent that he was their prime target because of the ongoing war of words between Sivasena and Amitabh.

We don’t support the linguistic chauvinism in any way, particularly the violent brand that Sivasena and Karnataka Rakshana Vedike have been practicing. However we are always thrilled when someone points out the outstanding qualities of our Super Star!
