One nation, one election 'dangerous': Kamal Haasan
Chennai (PTI): One nation, one election proposal is 'dangerous', flawed and its scars still exist in some countries and hence it is not needed for India and it will not be required in future too, top actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam founder leader Kamal Haasan said here on Saturday.
Without naming any party or leader, Haasan said had simultaneous polls been held in 2014 or 2015, it would have led to a complete sweep, resulting in dictatorship, loss of freedom of speech and dominance of a single leader.
"You should understand that we have escaped from it...we have escaped from a disease more virulent than Coronavirus," he said addressing a party meet, apparently indicating that polls about a decade ago had been conducted without embracing the one nation, one election concept.
Though Haasan pointed to Europe and Russia when he commented on simultaneous polls, he did not specify any single country where it had failed.
What would happen if all traffic lights glow in the same colour at the same time, he asked and said people should be given time to think and pick their choice.
