Chennai: A day after his fans organised a protest in Chennai urging him to enter politics, actor Rajinikanth today said, “It pains me to see fans indulging in such acts. I have explained my health situation clearly. Don’t compel me to make a political entry.”

Rajinikanth today wrote on his Twitter, page, “Yesterday a section of fans organised a protest seeking me to enter politics. I appreciate them for holding it in an organised and disciplined manner. At the same time, I thank all those who did not take part in it following Rajini Makkal Mandram’s statement.”

“I have explained in detail why I chose not to enter politics already. In such a situation, holding such protests pains me a lot.” He urged them to desist from involving in such acts in future.

Rajinikanth on 29 December announced that he will not be starting his political party and that his recent health scare is a warning from God. Rajinikanth posted a tweet saying he doesn’t want to make the people who believe in him feel like a scapegoat, as his recent health conditions have come as a warning.

Rajinikanth further said, “I see this as a warning given to me by the Lord. If I campaigned only through the media and social media after I started the party, I would not be able to create the political upheaval among people and win big in the elections. No one with political experience will deny this reality.”

Rajinikanth said that he doesn’t want to start something and let it go halfway through and that his health doesn’t permit him to enter politics at this juncture and hence says he wants to refrain from starting the party. However, he added that he will continue to support the people of Tamilnadu.
