CHENNAI: A host of leaders, including Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and MDMK founder Vaiko have enquired about the health of ailing DMK president M Karunanidhi, the party said today.

Rahul Gandhi and former Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad inquired about the health of Karunanidhi with his daughter and Rajya Sabha MP, Kanimozhi over phone, DMK said in the release.

Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy and his cabinet colleagues, Congress leaders from the Union Territory and Tamil Nadu such as TNCC president Su Thirunavukkarasar and his predecessor E V K S Elangovan, Vaiko, CPI(M) MP T K Rangarajan and many others also inquired about the 93-year-old leader's health.


Karunanidhi had recently fallen ill due to a drug induced allergy and doctors had advised him to take rest.
