DMK President MK Stalin expressed that the DMK chief and his father, senior leader M Karunanidhi has been suffering from fever and doctors provided him with medication, reasserting that there was nothing serious or dangerous about the health of the 94 year old leader. Stalin had told the reporters at the Gopalapuram residence after coming out of the hospital that doctors had provided medication for Karunanidhi's fever, and there was nothing serious.
Dismissing all news about Karunanidhi as mere rumor, Stalin said people not to believe such news stating that M Karunanidhi is at home and is taking rest. This response from Stalin had come after press had come enquiring regarding the health of M Karunanidhi, as there were widespread rumors regarding health condition of Karunanidhi worsening. The DMK President Stalin said that Karunanidhi had mild fever two days after he had returned from private hospital after undergoing a medical procedure to change his tracheostomy tube.
On July 18 Karunanidhi had underwent
a medical procedure to replace jod tracheostomy tube. It must be noted that the
DMK chief had health issues in October 2016, following which he was admitted to
a hospital for taking care of his nutrition and hydration, and had later
underwent tracheostomy to enable smooth breathing.
