Kamal Haasan Writes Open Letter to Donald Trump, Says India Won’t Take Orders from Foreign Govts

Chennai: Actor turned politician Kamal Haasan, founder of the Makkal Needhi Maiam, has issued a strongly worded open letter criticising public remarks made by Donald Trump.

In a message shared on social media, he stated that the people of India belong to a free and sovereign country and are not prepared to take instructions from foreign governments.

He also remarked that it would be better for the United States to focus on its own affairs rather than interfering in the internal matters of other nations.

Kamal Haasan emphasised that mutual respect between sovereign nations is the only foundation for lasting global peace. Concluding his message, he wished peace and prosperity to the American people.

The actor-politician’s open letter has sparked widespread discussion on social media, particularly in the context of Trump’s recent comments on Iran and broader debates about international pressure tactics and global diplomacy.

To

The President of the United States of America @POTUS

Dear Mr. President,

We, the people of India, belong to a free and sovereign nation. We no longer take orders from distant foreign shores.

Please mind your own business to the best of your abilities.

Mutual respect between sovereign nations is the only foundation of lasting global peace.

We wish your country and its people peace and prosperity.
