Kamal Haasan Takes Oath as Rajya Sabha Member from Tamil Nadu

Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan on Friday made his debut in Parliament as he took oath as a Rajya Sabha Member. The veteran actor arrived at the Parliament complex earlier in the day.

Haasan delivered his oath in Tamil, drawing loud desk thumps from fellow Parliamentarians.

Kamal Haasan's



entry into the Rajya Sabha marks a major milestone in his political career, as he takes on a national legislative role for the first time.

His nomination came with the backing of the ruling DMK-led alliance, which had assured him a seat in the Upper House in exchange for Makkal Needhi Maiam’s support during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
