Karunanidhi has entered the 50th year as the President of DMK.
Tamil
Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K
Palaniswami said on Monday that Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)
supremo M Karunanidhi, who has been admitted to a Chennai hospital
owing to various ailments, is recovering.
He
visited the 94-year-old DMK President Karunanidhi,
along with Deputy Chief Minister O Pannerselvam and other ministers.
"I
have met him (Karunanidhi)...he is recovering," Palaniswami said
after coming out from the hospital.
Five-time
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi was admitted to hospital late
Friday following high fever, urinary tract infection (UTI) and a dip
in blood pressure.
Amid
rumours about his deteriorating health that triggered a panic among
party cadres and well-wishers on Sunday night, the Kauvery hospital
management said there was a transient setback in Karunanidhi's
clinical condition. With active medical support, his vital signs are
normalising, However, he continues to be “closely monitored” and
treated by the panel of expert doctors.
However,
partymen from various parts of the Tamil Nadu have been camping in
front of the hospital, raising slogans asking their patriarch to come
back to a normal.
Earlier
on Sunday, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Tamil Nadu Governor
Banwarilal Purohit, and Karunanidhi’s son M K Stalin visited the
hospital to see Karunanidhi. Also, DMK had released pictures of
Karunanidhi lying on the ICU bed.
Karunanidhi
has entered the 50th year as the President of DMK, the longest tenure
by a person as head of oneof Tamil Nadu's major Dravidian parties.
