Kamal is in the eye of a political storm ever since he ca me out with a statement that all departments in the government are corrupt.When some ministers hit back and challenged him to pinpoint corruption, he responded with a call to his fans and the general public that they should list out instances of corruption and send them to the ministers.He even mentioned the website and other contact details of authorities and ministers.
