Hassan had launched his political party MNM (People's Centre for Justice) last year and will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He launched it at a public meeting in Madurai on 21 February 2018. The party flag is symbolised by six interlocked hands, meant to represent co-operation between the Southern states of India (5 States and 1 UT).
Last month speaking to reporters here, he said that the party will release the names of Lok Sabha candidates in phases and that youth will get preference in the selections.
