DMK Minister for Milk and Dairy Development SM Nasar was caught on camera on Tuesday losing his cool and throwing a stone at a party worker, allegedly over a delay in bringing chairs for him at a event in Tiruvallur.
Nasar became enraged at the worker for allegedly taking the time to get him a chair. The minister can be heard yelling at the worker in the video. In the background, a couple of DMK functionaries who were with the minister can be heard laughing.
The DMK minister was in charge of preparations at a venue in Tiruvallur where Chief Minister M K Stalin is scheduled to speak at a public meeting on Wednesday as part of the DMK’s ‘Veera Vanakkam Naal’ event. The event will be held to remember those who died during the anti-Hindi agitation.
It is worth mentioning this was not the first time when the minister landed in controversy for his actions or for his statement. Earlier in November last year, he made false claims that the Central Government had imposed a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on milk, causing milk prices to rise in Tamil Nadu. But it was the state government led by MK Stalin which raised the milk price.
“The Union Government has also imposed GST on milk. It is an unprecedented occurrence. As a consequence of levying GST for milk, the selling price of milk has gone up,” he stated at a press conference last year.
