The logo and symbol of Kamal Haasan’s newly launched Makkal Needhi Maiam party, depicts six hands holding onto one other. Three of the hands are in red and the other three in white. At the centre of the flag is a six pointed star in black, forming a white core.
Speaking at the unveiling of his party at the Othakadai Grounds in Madurai, Kamal said in Tamil: “If you look closely, you will find the new map of south India. The six hands stand for the six states. The six pointed star represents you and people's justice.”(sic)
