\"kamal-haasan\"<\/a>Tamil Nadu sensation, actor Kamal Hasan is all set to launch his maiden political party on February 21 evening. Hasan will unveil his party\u2019s name, flag and ideology at a public meeting in Madurai.<\/p>\n

To join the actor-turned-politician, Kamal Hasan, in his political movement, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal leaves his residence for Madurai.<\/p>\n

He kicked off his political yatra this morning from Rameswaram by visiting late President A P J Abdul Kalam\u2019s residence and his memorial. He even sought blessings from his Kalam\u2019s elder brother Mohammed Muthu Meera Lebbai Maraicker. He then went to interact with fishermen community in Rameswaram.<\/p>\n

Earlier this morning, he was scheduled to visit a school where A P J Abdul Kalam had studied but it was cancelled as the administration denied permission to him. “I could not visit his school. I don’t think it was due to politics. They can only prevent me from entering the school, but they cannot prevent me from learning,” the actor said while addressing the media.<\/p>\n

Lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan congratulating Hasan on his Twitter wrote,” All the best to @ikamalhaasan who has finally taken the plunge into TN politics. No doubt he is doing it with intention of improving public life in TN, which desperately needs something far better than what DMK, ADMK, Cong & BJP have to offer. He will need expert advice on policy. “<\/p>\n
