According to a report, in the message he uploaded a video in Tamil to his Facebook page, he reminded the people of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka how everyone came together to help each other during last year's Chennai floods.

RJ Balaji also asked people who post videos, photos on social media to 'shut up and shut shop' for a couple of days and said that those who were engaged in violence were people with political agendas.

"The people in Karnataka who set KPN buses on fire weren't ordinary people like you and me. The people in Chennai who vandalized the Woodlands hotel weren't people like you and me. Those who did all this are people who hope that this issue will never be put to rest, that this problem will become bigger."

Balaji suggested the governments of Tamil Nadu and Karntataka to arrest the 'madmen' perpetrating violence in both states.

Earlier, he had shared the same sentiment in a post on Facebook.
