A massive political controversy has erupted over a two-year-old viral video purportedly showing a state minister from the TVK crushing a substance during a cricket match. While the minister claims he was powdering medicine for his unwell child, opposition members from the DMK and political analysts have raised questions about the suspicious manner of the act and the caption used in the video.
During a television debate, a spokesperson for the ruling party defended the minister, rejecting demands for an immediate inquiry and accusing the opposition of using the issue to divert attention from their own alleged corruption and past controversies related to narcotic seizures. In response, a spokesperson for the opposition party emphasized the need for a transparent investigation, citing inconsistencies in the minister's defense, such as the use of a card to crush an easily dissolvable tablet.
As political bickering intensifies over the drug menace in the state, the government has yet to announce any formal investigation into the viral footage.
