Music composer Ilayaraja is an admired figure in Tamil cinema. He has composed music for more than a thousand films and everyone calls him a musician.
He had courted controversy a few months ago when he wrote the foreword to a book comparing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Ambedkar. But Ilayaraja was adamant that he would not take back that opinion.
In this case, MP registration has been given to Ilayaraja. As a member of the Rajya Sabha, he is appointed by the Prime Minister as a Nominee MP.
After this announcement, congratulations are pouring in for Ilayaraja
