The death of up to 60 people after consuming poisonous alcohol mixed with methanol in Karunapuram of Kallakurichi district has shocked the whole country beyond Tamil Nadu. 12 people lost their eyesight. Many are receiving treatment in hospitals. CBCID is conducting an investigation in this regard and more than 10 people including Kannukutty who sold liquor have been arrested.
AIADMK has been insisting that Chief Minister M. K. Stalin should accept responsibility for this incident and resign. Edappadi Palaniswami is saying that the truth will come out only if the CBI conducts an investigation in this regard. In this situation, a protest was held yesterday on behalf of the AIADMK across Tamil Nadu regarding the Kallakurichi incident.
Former AIADMK ministers Dindigul Srinivasan and Natham Viswanathan participated in the protest in Dindigul district.
Dindigul Srinivasan Parapara speech
Dindigul Srinivasan, speaking in the meeting, said, “When I was the Minister of Forest Department, I went to Kalvarayan hill in Kallakurichi district. Stoves were burning everywhere. When asked what, they said they were brewing liquor. I asked whether the legislator here, Udayasuriyan, will not stop all this. They said that they brew alcohol only with the grace of the rising sun.. He is their God.
Two days ago there were reports that 15,000 liters of liquor had been destroyed in Kalvarayan Hill. He says he will crack down on bootleg liquor by Chief Minister MK Stalin with an iron fist, saying AIADMK walked out fearing his response. We had already walked out of the assembly before he arrived. What are we going to fear?
If the Kallakurichi hospital only had the specific medicine, the death toll would have ended with 5 people. Up to 60 people would not have died. But how can a death caused by fake liquor be called a death due to ill health? Edappadi Palaniswami will win the 2026 election and become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu by using the same trick as DMK won 40 seats,” he said.
Dindigul Srinivasan’s claim that adulterated liquor was brewed in the AIADMK regime has shocked the AIADMK workers.
