CHENNAI: Actor and MNM president Kamal Haasan on Sunday asked the Tamil Nadu government to pass a special resolution in the state assembly, in the current session, to shift the Sterlite Copper plant from the state.
He also asked the government to initiate action, after detailed enquiry, against officials, who allowed a free run for Sterlite and construct a memorial for the 13 people shot dead in police firing in Tuticorin.
In a statement, Kamal recalled that chief minister M K Stalin in 2018 had asked for shifting the Sterlite plant permanently from the state and also to issue guidelines for the operations of copper industries in the state.
“The DMK government, as part of its election promise, should immediately take steps to shift the Sterlite Copper plant out of Tamil Nadu. It should pass a special resolution in the state assembly in the current session itself and send a copy of the resolution to the Supreme Court,” Kamal said.
