The recent heartwrenching story of the father who received his stillborn infant in a cardboard box without a shroud caught everyone’s attention. Among them was the host of Zee Tamil’s show Tamizha Tamizha’s, anchor Avudaiappan. 

In a post critical of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government, he wrote on this issue, “Right to Die with Dignity”-Article 21-Fundamental right. I have written many times praising the excellent medical infrastructure in Tamil Nadu but, at the same time it is disgraceful and shameful for a government hospital to give a dead child in a cardboard box without giving it even a cloth called Shroud. Very sorry state of affairs. @Subramanian_ma”

Following this, Avudaiappan posted “After the investigation confirmed that the dead child was placed in a cardboard box, action is being taken against the person concerned. Thank you honorable minister @Subramanian_ma” 

He also shared a press note where it was stated that the person in charge was suspended.

However, similar to how the DMK supporters hounded Shabbir Ahmed of The News Minute for reporting the reality of the situation amidst the floods and the aftermath of the cyclone, a set of supporters of the DMK and members of the party’s IT wing targeted Avudaiappan for criticising the government. They dug up old posts of his where he was critical of the DMK and appreciated the ADMK government. 

In one post in July 2013, Avudaiappan had written “Hansika jolly type, Nayanthara serious type – Udhayanidhi Stalin Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaya? Avan pakka fraud-u ma! (Darling, do you want to eat laddy? He is a pakka fraud.)”

Prior to that in June 2013 he had taken jibes at DMK leader Kanimozhi.

The DMK IT members also took objection to his posts appreciative of the late AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa.

An anonymous ID that peddles DMK propaganda lashed out at Avudaiappan saying that he would be dragged to the streets.

Self-proclaimed “Dr.” Arvind Raja, another rabid anti-Hindu Dravidian propaganda account sharing a snippet of Vasool Raja MBBS said “Discharge the old patient Shabbir Ahmed and admit the new patient Avudaiappan” which is nothing but a clarion call for DMK supporters on social media to come and abuse Avudaiappan.
