Complaint against Minister for tweet involving late Anitha
The Hindu
Ma Foi Pandiarajan claims video uploaded without his knowledge.
: Family members of S Anitha, a medical aspirant who died by suicide in September 2017 after NEET was introduced, filed a police complaint against Tamil Language Minister Ma Foi K Pandiarajan after a video of the girl with dubbed voice over in favour of AIADMK was tweeted from his Twitter handle on Sunday. Her brother S. Manirathinam also wrote to the Chief Electoral Officer seeking action against Mr Pandiarajan. Hours after the video triggered widespread outrage on social media, the Minister, who is seeking re-election from Avadi constituency, claimed it was posted without his knowledge. In the video, a voice over for Anitha narrates that about 427 students from poor and underprivileged families have been studying in medical colleges in the State and it was made possible in the Jayalalithaa’s government. The voice goes on to say that instead of spreading such positive aspects, the precious lives like her (Anitha) have been destroyed through malicious propaganda for political gains. The voice further states that the issue has claimed the lives of 17 students and that the people must not forget or forgive the DMK for spreading malicious propaganda.More Related News
