DMK MP seeks India's highest civilian award for Karunanidhi
Speaking during the Zero Hour in Rajya Sabha, DMK MP Tiruchi Siva demanded that late DMK President M Karunanidhi be conferred with Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award. Calling the five-time Tamil Nadu CM "the tallest leader of the country", Siva remarked that he had devoted 80 years of his life to the public, fighting for downtrodden and suppressed people.
