Rajinikanth: I have no intention of involving myself in politics in future

On Monday, superstar Rajinikanth announced that he has decided to disband the Rajini Makkal Mandram, launched for his political entry. According to PTI, in a statement, the actor said, "I have no intention of involving myself in politics in future.”

Due to circumstances, "what we thought did not materialise," he said apparently referring to his previously proposed political entry which he subsequently dropped.


He said that RMM (Rajini Makkal Mandram) has been disbanded but the functionaries would work like before under the Rajinikanth Fans Forum (Rajinikanth Rasigar Narpani Mandram) which is aimed at carrying out activities for people's welfare. The fans forum, an apolitical welfare body, was converted into RMM (Rajini Makkal Mandram) and this new outfit was launched in 2018.

Before meeting the functionaries, Rajinikanth spoke to the reporters, and said, "Should the Makkal Mandram be continued and if so, what will be its functions and these are questions among the functionaries and fans. There are also questions as to whether or not I am going to come to politics in future.”

Last year in December, Rajinikanth had announced that he will be entering politics and will launch his own party. However, later, he announced that he won’t be joining politics.

Talking about his movies, the actor will next be seen in Annaatthe which is slated to release on Diwali this year.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
