The fact that writer Perumal Murugan has pointed out that the newly opened Periyar Arivulagam in Coimbatore contains books with false information has now become a topic of discussion across Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu Health Minister Arunraj has alleged on his X page that the former DMK government committed corruption in purchasing books for this library.
“Party fund even in the library department! A massive loot carried out by the DMK in the name of Periyar Arivulagam! A huge betrayal of knowledge committed against students and youth!
On the soil of Coimbatore, where an intellectual revolution should have blossomed, what has been staged behind the sacred name ‘Periyar Arivulagam’ is a massive act of intellectual theft never before seen in Tamil Nadu’s history!
With the noble intention that, whoever may have initiated the project, if it is for the welfare of the people it must be continued without any stepmotherly attitude, our Honorable Chief Minister opened the doors of that library to public use last October.
Stalin held a self-congratulatory ceremony for himself
Former Chief Minister Mr. Stalin, a few days ago in Coimbatore, held a self-congratulatory ceremony for himself and went on singing false praises as self-glorification.
But how long can palace dramas last? Here, the sharp pen of Perumal Murugan, the son of our Kongu soil and the proud writer of Tiruchengode, has torn through that veil and brought shocking truths to light!
Wearing the masks of Agal Vilakku Publications, Udhayasuriyan Publications, and Phoenix Publications, things the human mind would never think of...
The truth that the DMK government has stuffed the shelves of this library with toxic trash, hastily produced in a printing press entirely by artificial intelligence and turned into books, has shocked all of Tamil Nadu.
Even the courageous history of Bharathiar has been turned upside down, and false fabrications have been unleashed even on the timeless ethical classic, Naladiyar,
This gang of thieves has dared to sow the poison of ignorance in the minds of future generations.
Under the rule of the DMK, the evil force that thundered from every platform about education, thought, and rationalism, who planted the seed for this entire sinful act?
Mahesh of the 400-crore collection fame
Former School Education Minister, through the State Library Committee set up under the leadership of “Mahesh of the 400-crore collection fame,” the people of Tamil Nadu are stunned and frozen in shock, wondering whether even the library department has become a Party Fund.
On one hand, they make hollow slogans with empty words like “Tamil Nadu excels in education,” and on the other hand, fake writers in a way that tarnishes the very name of Periyar,
Party Fund even in the library department! A massive loot carried out by the DMK in the name of Periyar Arivulagam! A huge betrayal of knowledge committed against students and youth! In the soil of Coimbatore, where an intellectual revolution should have blossomed, what has been staged behind the sacred name “Periyar Arivulagam” is a massive theft of knowledge that Tamil Nadu has never seen before! Whoever may have started the project, if it is one that serves the public good, it should be continued without a stepmotherly attitude—that was the noble intent with which our Hon’ble Chief Minister opened the doors of that library to public use last October. Former Chief Minister Mr. Stalin recently held a self-praise event in Coimbatore and went away singing his own false glories as self-praise. But how long can palace dramas last? Here, the sharp pen of our son of Kongu soil and the proud writer of Tiruchengode, Perumal Murugan, has torn apart that illusion and brought shocking truths to light! Under the masks of Akal Vilakku Publications, Udhayasuriyan Publications, and Phoenix Publications, the DMK government has stuffed the shelves of this library with books made from poisonous trash—materials that no human mind would think of... entirely produced in a printing press by artificial intelligence. This truth has shocked all of Tamil Nadu. By turning Bharathiyar’s courageous history upside down, and by even unleashing false fabrications upon the timeless ethical classic Naladiyar, this gang of thieves has dared to sow the poison of ignorance in the minds of future generations. Under the rule of the DMK, the evil force that shouted from every stage about education, thought, and rationalism, who planted the seed for this entire sinful act? Tamil people are stunned to learn that, through the state library committee formed under former School Education Minister, the “400 crore collection fame” Mahesh, Party Fund has even entered the library department. On one hand, they falsely chanted slogans with empty words like “Tamil Nadu excels in education,” and on the other, through fake writers and fake publishing houses, they looted in a way that even tarnishes the name of Father Periyar. The deceitful face of the DMK is rotting today. This betrayal, which dared to blind the intellectual eyes of the next generation of children, will never be forgiven by the people’s government. The government of our Hon’ble Chief Minister will severely punish, through the hands of the law, all the masterminds who ran this fraudulent business in the name of Father Periyar! @TVKVijayHQ | @TVKPartyHQ | @TVKHQITWingOffl | @BussyAnand #தமிழகவெற்றிக்கழகம் #TVK

The deceitful face of the DMK, which plundered through fake publishing houses, is reeking today.
The people’s government will never forgive this betrayal, which dared to blind the minds of the next generation of children.
Our Hon’ble Chief Minister’s government will severely punish, with the hands of the law, all the masterminds who carried out fraudulent business in the name of Thanthai Periyar!”
