MADURAI: Actor Kamal Haasan, who on Wednesday launched his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam (people justice centre) in the presence of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and others, said he would devote the rest of his life to the people.
"I was in your heart all this while. Now I want to be in all your homes. You had looked at me as a star all along. Now I request you to look at me as a lamp. Light me in all your homes," he said, addressing a large gathering of people at Othakadai in Madurai.
Citing the Tamil proverb 'Oru Soru', which means a small example of a whole lot, he said the launch was just the first step for 'makkal atchi' (people's rule).
Later, addressing his supporters Haasan said they have a duty and reminded them that this was not a "one day event", but "a way of life."
