7. We all wish for his speedy recovery!
@kalaignar89 At least for once all political parties should shun the differences and pray for speed recovery. What T.N misses not only his voice but his writing and his opinion which was needed to our state

Karunanidhi was born on June 3, 1924, in Thirukkuvali village in Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu. He entered into politics at a very young age of 14. Currently, he is the leader of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party based in the Southern state of Tamil Nadu.
Kalaignar, as he is lovingly called by his supporters, has been a five-time chief minister of the state; his first stint as CM began in the year 1969. On his 95th birthday, we wish M Karunanidhi, all the best in his future endeavours, and hope he remains in pink of his health!
