MoS Giriraj Singh slammed Makkal Needh Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan for his remark on Godse. He said, "Kamal Haasan will have to take new birth to understand Hinduism.

He is doing politics. Hinduism is being defined for past 5 lakh years. It would be a matter of happiness if he defines Muslims. But he has thought that the more he abuses Hindu, he will rise as a secular leader. He is mistaken." On Kamal Haasan's remark that he is not afraid of being arrested, Giriraj added, "He should not be afraid of being arrested because he is a Muslim."
