Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan on Fb 21 underscored the importance of language among Tamilians, while warning against taking such matters lightly, news agency ANI reported. His remarks came amid an ongoing language row between the Centre and MK Stalin's DMK government in the southern state.

"Tamilians have lost their lives for a language. Don't play with those things. Tamilians, even children, know what language they need. They have the knowledge to choose which language they need," Haasan said during a speech on the 8th foundation day of his party Makkal Needhi Maiyam (MNM).
