Actor- director Raghava Lawrence, who played a crucial role in the recent jallikattu protests at Marina beach, said he has no interest in joining politics immediately.
The choreographer turned actor, recently meet the press after a section of the media were circulating rumours that he would be entering politics.
However, at the end of the press meet, he hinted at the possibility of entering politics if the situation warranted it.
A day after meeting Tamilnadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, Lawrence said, ‘Rumours are spreading like forest fire among the public through social and visual media regarding my entry into politics.’ But, he added, ‘I have no intention of entering politics. My plan is to serve society without political affiliations.’
The actor revealed the demands that he and his team placed before Panneerselvam earlier. They have asked the State Government to announce a celebration day to mark the victory of the youth protests. They have also stressed that the State withdraw all the cases registered against the youngsters who protested for lifting the ban on jallikattu and address the immediate needs of the fishermen who have lost their properties in Nochikuppam and Nadukuppam.
However, towards the end of the media conference, he asserted, ‘We will be watching the situation in the State for the next few years. If the same level of negligent attitude towards Tamil society continues, we will launch into politics. Time will decide this course of action.’
