In a scoial media post Annamalai said “the fact that Zafar Sadiq, the leader of the international drug trafficking gang, was in office as a DMK executive, and now another DMK functionary has tried to smuggle a huge amount of drugs into the capital city of Chennai, cannot be passed off easily. The question of who is actually behind this gang, and the fact that after DMK came to power, the circulation of drugs has increased enormously, raises various doubts among the public.”
