TL;DR: Kamal Haasan, founder of Makkal Needhi Maiam, was sworn in as a Rajya Sabha MP on 25 July 2025, taking his oath proudly in Tamil, earning thunderous table‑thumping from fellow MPs! 📢 Backed by the DMK‑led INDIA alliance, he chose the Rajya Sabha route over contesting a Lok Sabha seat—marking a bold new stage in his political journey.
🏛️ Kamal Haasan’s Political Leap: A New Chapter in Rajya Sabha
On Friday, 25 July 2025, Kamal Haasan officially became a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha. He delivered his oath in Tamil, his mother tongue, amid loud applause and table-thumping from fellow Parliamentarians—symbolizing respect for his cultural roots and linguistic pride.
Why This Matters:
He was elected unopposed on 12 June 2025, thanks to the support of the DMK‑led INDIA bloc in Tamil Nadu.
He opted for a Rajya Sabha seat over Lok Sabha because MNM supported the DMK alliance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. 🗳️
He filed his nomination papers on 6 June in Chennai, in the presence of CM MK Stalin, Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin, and leaders from DMK allies like Vaiko, Thol. Thirumavalavan, and TN Congress chief Selvaperunthagai. 🧑⚖️
Who Joined Him:
Five other MPs from Tamil Nadu took oath the same day:
Poet Salma, S. R. Sivalingam, and P. Wilson (re‑elected), all DMK.
Two AIADMK members: I. S. Inbadurai and Dhanapal.
🌟 Highlights from the Oath Ceremony
Haasan made a statement in Tamil before the oath: “I’m going to register my name. As an Indian, I will do my duty.”
His Rajya Sabha term will last until 24 July 2031, joining five other Tamil Nadu MPs starting the same tenure—it's a fresh new innings!
🧭 What This Means for Politics & MNM
Political clout for MNM: Having their chief in Parliament justifies the support Makkal Needhi Maiam extended to the DMK alliance. It boosts MNM’s credibility as a serious player in Tamil Nadu politics.
Cultural assertion: Taking oath in Tamil sent a clear message about asserting regional identity in national affairs. 💬
Focus on public service: Haasan's words highlighted duty and honour, pointing toward his commitment to public welfare over personal ambition.
💭 MediaFx Perspective (People’s Viewpoint)
From the people’s perspective, this is a hopeful moment: a film icon stepping into the legislative arena, speaking Tamil in Parliament—respecting local culture while holding national responsibilities. 🌱✨
Many young folks who follow MNM or Haasan’s work might feel represented. We hope he raises issues of and for Tamil Nadu and all of India. 🌍
This isn’t just star power—it’s potential for grassroots concerns to reach national debate. If Haasan pushes for and ,youth and working-class voices might finally get louder access in India’s corridors of power.
