 "Rahul Gandhi to meet ailing Karunanidhi today")
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will meet the ailing DMK President M Karunanidhi on Saturday, who underwent tracheostomy at the Kauvery Hospital in Chennai to optimise his breathing.
On Thursday night, the former chief minister was admitted to the hospital for the second time in the last three weeks.
He was first admitted to the same hospital on December 1 for optimisation of nutrition and hydration and was discharged after he improved substantially.
The hospital issued a statement saying Karunanidhi was re-admitted with breathing difficulty due to throat and lung infection, adding that he was stable and being treated.
Karunanidhi's daughter and Rajya Sabha MP from Tamil Nadu Kanimozhi said that he had some lung infection and breathing difficulty, adding that he was much better now.
