Act, don't play with words: EPS to govt in hooch deaths

He urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to 'avoid playing with words' by saying it is 'methanol' and not 'illicit liquor', and to keep in mind that it is a matter of people's lives.

In his statement, the AIADMK leader extended his condolences to the grieving families. "I have been continuously pointing out that the production of illicit liquor is rampant under the DMK regime. However, the government has not taken any action to curb it, even after several lives have been lost due to it," he alleged.
