Actor and Rajini Makkal Mandram founder Rajinikanth on Wednesday said that though having a common language will be beneficial for the growth and unity of a country, such an arrangement was ‘unfortunately’ not possible in India.

When asked about Home Minister Amit Shah’s remark that Hindi alone could be a unifying language in India, the actor said: “Having a common language is beneficial for the growth and unity of any country. Unfortunately, we cannot have that in India. Specifically, we cannot impose Hindi in India. If they [the government] do that, it will be opposed not only by the south Indian States but by some north Indian States as well.”

When asked about the death of Subasri, a young woman who was killed after a banner placed by an AIADMK functionary fell on her, Mr. Rajinikanth said he had already told his fans to avoid putting up banners.

Meanwhile, there were reports that Mr. Rajinikanth had met office-bearers of the Mandram to discuss the future course of his political journey. However, sources in the Mandram said the actor hadn’t held any consultations with its members in the recent past. “The reports about him meeting office-bearers to discuss the perception of him being close to the BJP are all rumours. As he has already mentioned, he will start a political party when the time is right. Until then, he has asked the office-bearers of RMM not to speak about politics,” a source said.
