Chennai sources reported that Karunanidhi's son and DMK working President MK Stalin broke down soon after the Madras High Court ruled that DMK president and former chief minister M Karunanidhi will be buried next to his mentor CN Annadurai at Marina Beach in Chennai. Meanwhile ever since the health of Karunanidhi deteriorated, MK Stalin was one of the strongest among the family members who kept assuring DMK cadres and Karunanidhi's supporters not to panic.
Presently scores of people are visiting the iconic Rajaji Hall in Chennai to catch last glimpse of the DMK patriarch who died at the age of 94 on Tuesday evening. Moreover among the early visitors on Wednesday morning were superstar Rajinikanth and his family, Tamilnadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit, Chief Minister E Palanasmy Palanisamy and his deputy O Panneerselvam.
Furthermore MK Stalin, who wrote an emotional
poem in his father's memory and other family members, including MK Selvam and

body is draped in the tricolor and Karunanidhi's mortal remains were brought to
the Rajaji Hall on Wednesday morning after it was taken to his homes at
Gopalapuram and at CIT Colony for relatives and leaders to pay their last
