According to the official announcement made my Soundarya Rajinikanth earlier today, Rajinikanth went to meet the people of Thoothukudi to ensure their welfare and provide his support to the affected people during the protest. The actor has made a statement of providing solatium of Rs 2 lakh each to the families of the deceased and Rs 10,000 each to the injured.

On his way back home, he addressed reporters waiting outside the Chennai airport. Rajinikanth marked a statement that anti-social elements were responsible for the outburst during the protest which led to the open firing.

Similar to the Jallikattu protest last year, anti-social elements infiltrated the anti-Sterlite protest as well, he said. He also strongly stated that he would never accept the attack on police made by the people.
 

When the reporters questioned why the government has not taken any action against the attack, he strongly said the government will and should take against them.
 

Tamil Nadu will turn into a graveyard if people resort to protests for everything, Rajinikanth said. When questioned how he knows that anti-social elements infiltrated the anti-Sterlite protest, the actor turned furious and said, “Don’t ask me how I know it; I know it all.”
