Earlier, the Chennai Press Club had alleged that actor-politician Rajinikanth while addressing media persons at the Chennai Airport had spoken in a demeaning manner to journalists and said that it was their job to ask questions and communicate news to the public. The body even threatened to go on a protest condemning Rajinikanth's actions.
Now, the Superstar has taken to Twitter and offered an explanation. Roughly translated, his tweet read, "Taking cognisance of Chennai Press Club which felt that I had spoken to journalists in a threatening tone at the Chennai Airport, I wish to state that demeaning them (journalists) was never my intention and register my apologies for the same if they had felt hurt."
விமானநிலையத்தில் நேற்று அளித்த பேட்டியின் போது நான் மிரட்டல் தொனியில்,ஒருமையில் பேசியதாக சென்னை பத்திரிக்கையாளர் சங்கம் தெரிவித்துள்ளது. யாரையும் புண்படுத்தும் எண்ணம் எனக்கு இருந்ததில்லை, அப்படி எந்த பத்திரிக்கை அன்பர்களின் மனதாவது புண்பட்டுருந்தால் அதற்காக நான் வருந்துகிறேன்.
