Representatives of the Tamil Nadu Jama’athul Ulama Sabai called on Rajinikanth at his residence in Madras on 1st March and explained to him the impact that the CAA, NRC and NPR will have on Muslims. The meeting was held against the backdrop of Rajinikanth offering to lead a protest if even a single Muslim was affected by the CAA while maintaining that the Centre was not likely to withdraw it.
P.A. Khaja Mohinudeen Baqavi, president of the Sabai, said, “Rajinikanth understood the problem and reason behind our protests and offered all his support to help overcome fear.”
