"There is a debate on an issue I spoke on and which happened in 1971. I didn't make up what I said. People are saying I made it up but I didn't. Sorry, I won't apologise," Rajinikanth said.

"I have magazines here to show what I said was true. I am telling what I saw. They are telling what they saw," he observed.

The Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam(TPDK) general secretary Kovai Ramakrishnan found fault with Rajinikanth's statements and demanded an apology from the superstar.
