According to the Tamil superstar, the current government has been unable to stop the notorious activities of the drug mafia in the state. As a result of which drugs are largely and easily circulated in Tamil Nadu.
Attacking the Stalin government, Thalapathy Vijay said, “The government must protect the youngsters from drugs. The current government has failed miserably.” He added that the state is now in need of some good political leaders. He was talking at the felicitation program of 10th and 12th students at the Convention Centre in Chennai.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has already taken notice of this tragedy that occurred in the Kallakurichi district and asked for a detailed report from the Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary and the Director-General of Tamil Nadu Police.
The Madras High Court has given period until July 3 to file the report. It has put a huge pressure on the DMK government. And in such a situation this public statement of Thalapathy Vijay can trigger more problems for the existing government.
