As per Sarkaria commission report :
When Karunanidhi was PWD minister 27000 gunny bags of sugar went missing
The judge asked Karunanidhi " what happened to 27000 bags of sugar ? "
Karunanidhi : ants ate the 27000 bags of sugar 😀😀😀
Next day the judge tutored PP to ask this question to Karunanidhi
PP : Mr Karunanidhi you said ants ate the 27000 bags of sugar, tell me what happened to the 27000 gunny bags which had sugar ?
Judge and PP were speechless
Thats when sarkaria coined the term " Scientific thieves"
