CHENNAI:
PMK leader S
Ramadoss on Friday said he was saddened to hear news about a “slight decline” in the health condition of his beloved friend and
DMK president M
Karunanidhi due to age-related ailments.
“With treatment being extended to him at home, I hope he recovers fast. I express my wish that he will live 100 years and resume public work,” Ramadoss said in a statement.
The PMK leader hailed the unparalleled achievements of the former
Tamil Nadu chief minister in politics and said news about his ill-health had come at a time when the veteran began his 50th year as president of the party on Friday.
