Nothing to worry about DMK chief's health, says Stalin

DMK Working President MK Stalin today said his father and party chief M Karunanidhi was suffering from fever and doctors were providing medication, assuring there was nothing to worry about the 94-year-old leader's health.

"Doctors are providing medication for the fever and there is nothing to worry about or get shocked," he told reporters after visiting the DMK patriarch at his Gopalapuram residence here.

"It is only a rumour. No one need to believe it, he is at home, taking rest," he said.

Stalin was responding to a query about the health status of Karunanidhi following messages doing the rounds on a messaging platform reportedly claiming deterioration in his health.

The DMK Working President said two days after Karunanidhi's return from a private hospital here, wherein he had undergone a procedure to change his tracheostomy tube, the top leader had "mild fever."
