Last rites of Karunanidhi on the Marina Beach

DMK chief M. Karunanidhi, who passed away at 6:10 pm on Tuesday, was buried at Chennai's Marina Beach, where three other former chief ministers including Jayalalithaa have memorials. Popularly known as Periyar, Karunanidhi was Jayalalithaa's biggest rival who always fought against caste-system and oppressive methods of the Brahmins. His son MK Stalin broke down after hearing that the Madras High Court has allowed his father's burial at Marina Beach.

द्रमुक के प्रमुख, एम करुणानिधि, जिनका मंगलवार को शाम 6:10 बजे निधन हो गया, को चेन्नई के मरीना बीच पर दफनाया गया, जहां जयललिता सहित तीन अन्य भूतपूर्व मुख्यमंत्रियों के स्मारक हैं। पेरियार के नाम से लोकप्रिय, करुणानिधि जयललिता के सबसे बड़े प्रतिद्वंद्वी थे जिन्होंने हमेशा जाति प्रथा और ब्राह्मणों के अत्याचारी तरीकों के खिलाफ लड़ाई की। मद्रास उच्च न्यायालय द्वारा मरीना बीच पर अपने पिता को दफन करने की अनुमति का सुनकर उनके बेटे एमके स्टालिन रो पड़े।
