Days after his remark about independent India’s first extremist being a Hindu, referring to Nathuram Godse, during a rally at a Muslim dominated area, actor-turned-politician and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder has said that every religion has its own terrorist.

The first terrorist post-India's independence is a Hindu. His name is Nathuram Godse." But this is not the first time that the actor has courted controversy.
