Actor-turned politician Kamal Haasan tweeted on Wednesday about the ongoing hijab row in Karnataka and said the issue is creating a "communal divide among innocent students".

"What is happening in Karnataka is provoking unrest. It is creating a communal divide among innocent students,"Kamal Haasan said, adding, "What is happening in the neighbouring state of Karnataka should not happen in Tamil Nadu. The progressive forces in the state must be more careful in times like these."
