In the clash that took place between the police and the anti-Sterlite protesters led to the deaths of 13 people and injuring many.
The politicians and ministers had rushed to the site to console the anguished family members, promising to pay them a compensation fee.
The question still remains as to whether the Sterlite Company will be closed or not. Will the government close it?
A heart-broken angry mother had asked this question to Information and Publicity Minister ‘Kadambur’ Raju who had come to visit the hospitalized.
A video of the angry mother confronting the minister when he visited a government hospital in Tuticorin district on Sunday, asking him why he cannot announce its closure, has gone viral on social media.

The woman’s son is being treated at the hospital. Pointing to the wound on her son’s head, she asks him what he would have done if his son had sustained such an injury.
The minister tries to pacify her and says he too is from the same (Tuticorin) district and understands her feelings.
At this point, the son intervenes to ask whether the minister was ready to give in writing that the factory would not operate, to which the minister says, “we will not allow the factory to run”.
The months-long protests for the closure of Vedanta’s Sterlite Copper unit in Tuticorin over pollution concerns turned violent last week, with agitators fighting pitched battles with police, prompting the personnel to open fire, killing 13 people.
