Actor Kamal Haasan claimed his fans have “exposed” the supply of “rotten eggs” to daycare centres in Perambalur district in Tamil Nadu.
Haasan’s claim comes days after state Finance Minister D Jayakumar’s power to the actor, who had levelled allegations of corruption against the Tamil Nadu government, on what welfare measure he had taken for the people of the state through his fan clubs.
“Perambalur exposes of rotten eggs given to children deserves praise. Pls, consult ours in house lawyers be4 exposing the crime. Don’t break laws (sic),” the national award-winning actor tweeted.
The actor’s fans had in July reportedly made visits to some ‘anganwadi’ centres and found ‘rotten’ eggs being supplied there.
The district administration has said an inquiry will be conducted into the matter.District Collector V Santha told that strict quality control rules were in place for the supply of eggs along with a replacement mechanism where it warranted.
Ever since Kamal Haasan had made allegations of corruption in the government, he has been targeted by the ruling dispensation, with Chief Minister K Palaniswami himself asking the national award winning actor to take the political plunge to get the proper response.
The actor had last month asked his fans to use social media to lodge complaints about corruption.
Local Administration Minister SP Velumani had sought proof of Haasan’s allegations and had asked if the actor was ready to furnish tax details of his films.
The opposition parties, including DMK, have backed Haasan and urged the government to respond to his charges of corruption rather than ‘targeting’ him.
