Azhagiris silent march begins in Chennai

September 05, 2018 10:57

The silent march called by M Karunanidhi's son M K Azhagiri, to protest against his brother M K Stalin's elevation as DMK president, and to assert his own clout, is wending its way through Chennai's Triplicane area towards the Kalaignar Samadhi on Marina Beach, reports A Ganesh Nadar.

The posters on display have photos of Karunanidhi, Azhagiri and his son Dayanidhi, showing that both brothers may differ on many things but certainly not on inducting their progeny into their politics.

The narrow roads of Triplicane are jam-packed with Azharigi supporters. And while the number may not reach the 5 lakh that Stalin's estranged brother boasted of, it certainly must send creases of worry across the DMK chief's brow, says Ganesh.
