<p>Popular Tamil film director Bharathiraja on Wednesday hit out at the superstar for slamming the protesters for Tuesday's violence and questioned the actor's motives. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The policemen stationed at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai were attacked by the protestors outside the stadium demanding a boycott of the matchs over Cauvery issue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Addressing a press conference as part of the Forum for the welfare of Tamil Art and Literature, Bharathiraja said, “When there was violence against the people of Tamil Nadu in Karnataka, there was no word from Rajinikanth. &nbsp;Only now we are getting to know his real intentions.”</p>

<p>The director was taking a dig at Rajini’s ‘Kannada roots’, having been born and brought up in Bengaluru before moving to Chennai. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking to Twitter, Rajinikanth stated, “The worst form of violence in law and order situation is attack on uniformed personnel on duty. This form of violence has to be tackled immediately as it poses grave danger to our country. We need more stringent laws to punish the perpetrators of attack on police personnel on duty,” he said. The actor also put up a video of protestors attacking policemen along with his tweet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Naam Tamilar Katchi chief Seeman also lashed out at Rajini, saying, “Rajinikanth was never on field, he is just sitting his room and tweeting.” Claiming that the superstar has no clue over the Cauvery dispute, he urged Rajini to keep quiet on the issue.</p>

<p>Political parties, farmers and even actors have been holding protests against the non-formation of the Cauvery Management Board and have also demanded that IPL matches should not be conducted in Chennai, as it would remove focus from the ongoing struggle against the Centre.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, several protesters from various political parties as well as some members of the film industry laid siege to Anna Salai ahead of the Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match that took place.</p>
