Health Minister accuses DMK of playing ‘cheap politics’

Accusing the DMK of playing “cheap politics” over the brown paper covers used to dispense medicines to patients, Health Minister K.G. Arunraj on Wednesday said that TVK was the only organisation committed to following former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai’s two-language policy in letter and spirit and would never compromise on it.

On Tuesday, members of the DMK, including former Minister T.R.B. Rajaa, posted photographs of the pill covers distributed to patients in the government medical colleges in Karur and Coimbatore, which carried dosage instructions in Tamil, English, and Hindi, on social media.
