Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan on Thursday made a comment about the murder of senior journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, Haasan posted, "Silencing a voice with a gun is the worst way to win a debate. Condolence to all those grieving Gauri Lankesh's demise."
Gauri Lankesh was shot dead by unidentified assailants at her residence in Bengaluru's Rajarajeshwari Nagar by some unidentified assailants at around 8-8:30 p.m. As per reports, three bullets were pumped in her body.
Her last rites were held at Bengaluru's Chamrajpet Cemetery on Wednesday.
