A host of leaders, including Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi and MDMK founder Vaiko have enquired about the health of ailing DMK President M Karunanidhi, the party said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Rahul Gandhi and former Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad inquired about the health of Karunanidhi with his daughter and Rajya Sabha MP, Kanimozhi over phone, a party release said.<\/p>\n

\"Leaders<\/p>\n

Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy and his cabinet colleagues, Congress leaders from the Union Territory and Tamil Nadu such as TNCC President Su Thirunavukkarasar and his predecessor E V K S Elangovan, Vaiko, CPI(M) MP T K Rangarajan and many others also inquired about the 93-year-old leader’s health.<\/p>\n

Karunanidhi had recently fallen ill due to a drug induced allergy and doctors had advised him to take rest.<\/p>\n

His estranged son M K Alagiri, expelled from DMK in 2014 for ‘anti-party activities’, had called on him yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"Leaders
\nOn the other hand DMK patriarch Karunanidhi praised party treasurer and son Stalin, while refuting claims of differences between the two.<\/p>\n

“I had said while naming him as Stalin that the name stood for iron man,” Karunanidhi said reminiscing the reason for christening his son as Stalin at a meet here which saw functionaries from Vaiko-led MDMK joining DMK.<\/p>\n

Stalin participated in the meet taking a break from his pre-election campaign ‘Namakku Name’ (we for ourselves) and Karunanidhi praised him for his work.<\/p>\n

\"Leaders<\/p>\n

Stalin has done his duty well, irrespective of rain or shine, day or night. I am doing the duty of welcoming him here not only as a father but also as party president ” he said referring to Stalin’s campaign seeking to catapult DMK to power again in next year’s Assembly election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
