M K Muthu Son Of Karunanidhi

Ammal Rajathi (Karunanidhis 3rd Wife) Rajathi Ammal is a 73-year-old widow woman who was born in Tamil Nadu, India, in the year 1945. She had been interested in acting since she was a child, and she began her career in the mid-1960s as a member of a play troupe directed by poet Kannadasan.

M K Muthu, DMK patriarch and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's eldest son, was admitted to a private hospital in Puducherry today for treatment of a respiratory problem.

According to hospital sources, Mr Muthu was placed on a ventilator and was responding well to treatment, with his blood pressure remaining stable.

According to DMK sources, Mr Muthu was on his way from Tiruvarur (Tamil Nadu) to Chennai for treatment of a respiratory problem when he became ill. He was then taken to a private hospital. After receiving the news, DMK functionaries from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry rushed to the hospital, including the party's Puducherry unit convenor M A S Subramanian.

M.K. Muthu, the eldest son of DMK chief M. Karunanidhi, and his wife J. Sivagamisundarai filed a complaint with the city police commissioner on Monday, alleging that his son and family members had threatened them.

Sivagamisundari, 65, the daughter of well-known playback singer Chidrabaram S. Jayaraman, claimed that their son, M.K.M. Arivunidhi, had been demanding money and property that belonged to the couple for several months. She stated that she was filing the complaint on behalf of her husband, who had recently become ill.

Karunanidhi was the glue that held the family together despite serious schisms. He was particular about attending family weddings and visiting all family members during Pongal. Despite his efforts to keep his family together, the schisms remained, and it was only his final bout of illness, which proved fatal, that seemed to unite his children, particularly his two sons M K Azhagiri and M K Stalin. Except for Karunanidhis second wife, Dayalu Ammal, and M K Muthu, his eldest son born to his first wife, Padmavathi, everyone was present at Rajaji Hall, where Karunanidhis body was kept to allow the public to pay their last respects.
