The Opposition -- ahead of its big meet in Patna later this week called for by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar -- is having a practice session in Tamil Nadu, at the birth centenary functions of the late DMK icon M Karunanidhi.

Indira Gandhi had urged the DMK not to oppose the Emergency but then chief minister late M Karunanidhi had put democracy before his rule and opposed it, only to lose his government, Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin said on Saturday.

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami also accused the DMK government of failing to fulfil any of the 2021 assembly election promises.

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the Tamil Nadu government's decision to construct 134 feet tall "Pen Monument" in honor of former Chief Minister and DMK supremo Karunanidhi at the Marina Beach.

The YSRCP is citing the case of DMK, which was allowed by the Election Commission of India (ECI) to name M Karunanidhi as the party chief for life.

The ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu has planned to celebrate the 98th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister and Dravidian stalwart M Karunanidhi in a grand manner in the state on Friday.

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today unveiled a bronze statue of late DMK President and former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi here, and hailed the Dravidian leader as one of India's most dynamic CMs who has left a legacy of development.

The 16-foot high bronze statue on a 14-foot pedestal has come in the same secretariat cum Tamil Nadu assembly complex that the five-time Chief Minister passionately built during his last tenure.

The ruling DMK on Sunday "warned" the Centre against imposing Hindi, saying the Tamil people still remembered the anti-Hindi agitation by late party patriarch M Karunanidhi, implying that they would not allow it to happen.

Marked by a sense of detachment 'like a saint', late DMK patriarch and his father M Karunanidhi handed him over to police during the infamous Emergency period, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has reminisced in his autobiography.

A Rs 39-crore memorial for late DMK president and former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi will be constructed at the Marina on Kamarajar Salai in Chennai in recognition of his efforts to create a "modern Tamil Nadu", Chief Minister M K Stalin announced.

DMK chief MK Stalin was sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Friday. "Stalin is the future of the party," said late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi about six years ago at a party meet.
