Chennai,
Oct 20: After a gap of more than a year, five time Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister and DMK Patriarch M Karunanidhi made his first public appearance here
last evening. A cheerful looking 93-year-old Mr Karunanidhi, who has recovered
from illness after he underwent a tracheostomy procedure following throat and
lung infection, visited an exhibition at the office of the Party organ
"Murasoli' to commemorate its 75th year celebrations. The expo showcased
the 75-year journey of the newspaper, to which Mr Karunandihi has immensely
contributed over the last seven decades since its inception in 1942. Mr
Karunanidhi, who was clad in a white shirt, dhoti and his usual yellow shawl,
went around the expo and also had a look at the wax model of his statue at the
premises. The nonagenarian leader sported a broad smile when Senior DMK leader
and former Minister Duraimurugan, citing the wax statue, termed it as a double
role played by an actor in films. He spent about 45 minutes at the expo during
which his son and DMK Working President M K Stalin, former Ministers E V Velu
and K Ponmudi were present. The staff members of the Murasoli daily were in
jubilant mood after seeing Mr Karunanidhi in public after a gap of nearly an
year. UNI
