Under attack from the AIADMK (Amma) for his graft charges against its government, actor Kamal Haasan on Tuesday said his fans have “exposed” the supply of “rotten eggs” to ‘anganwadis’ (daycare centres) in Perambalur district of Tamil Nadu.
Mr. Haasan’s claim comes days after Finance Minister D. Jayakumar’s poser to him what welfare measure he had undertaken for people through his fan clubs.
“Perambalur expose of rotten eggs given to children deserves praise. Pls consult our in house lawyers be4 exposing crime. Dont break laws (sic),” the actor tweeted.
The actor’s fans, in July, reportedly made visits to some ‘anganwadi’ centres and found ‘rotten’ eggs being supplied there.
Mr. Jayakumar, a senior leader in the AIADMK (Amma), on Sunday sought to know what welfare activities the actor had taken up for people during the 2004 tsunami tragedy and the devastating floods of 2015.
Ever since the actor made allegations of corruption against the government, he has been targeted by the ruling dispensation , with Chief Minister K Palaniswami himself asking him to take the political plunge to get proper response.
Mr. Haasanlast month asked his fans to use social media to lodge complaints about corruption.
Local Administration Minister SP Velumani had sought proof for Mr. Haasan’s allegations and asked if the actor was ready to furnish tax details of his films.
The Opposition parties, including DMK, have backed Mr. Haasan and urged the government to respond to his charges of corruption rather than ‘targeting’ him.
