Chennai: The DMK on Tuesday announced that party president M Karunanidhi had fallen ill due to a drug-injured allergy.
According to a report, DMK said that doctors have advised the party supremo to take rest, and requested people not to visit him.
A statement released from DMK headquarters on Tuesday read: “President Kalaignar (Karunanidhi) is ill because of an allergy caused by a medicine he is using and is taking rest.”
This development comes a month after AIADMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was admitted in the Apollo hospital on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration.
Apollo Hospital last Friday for the first time said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa "is interacting", a key indicator of improvement in her physical condition.
"The Honourable Chief Minister is interacting and progressing gradually," Director of Medical Services, Apollo Hospitals, Dr N Sathyabhama said in a press release.
She said Jayalalithaa "continues to be under treatment and observation for all vital parameters, respiratory support and passive physiotherapy."
Dr Sathyabhama said the team of experts of the critical care group, senior cardiologists, senior respiratory physicians, senior consultants of the infectious diseases department, senior endocrinologist and diabetologist of Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, Chennai have been giving treatment and care to her.
Karunanidhi had earlier demanded that AIADMK release photos of Jayalalithaa to assure the public that she was recovering. However, the ruling party had rejected the DMK chief’s demand.
