On the occasion, Karunanidhi, who was state chief minister five times, paid floral tributes at the memorials of DMK founder leader C N Annadurai and rationalist leader E V Ramasamy Periyar.

Karunanidhi planted a sapling at his CIT colony residence and later a cake was cut in the presence of his family members, including his son and DMK Treasurer M K Stalin. His daughter and Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi greeted  him on the occasion. Party leaders like Duraimurugan and T R Baalu also went to his residence and wished him.

DMK West District unit has announced a mega public meeting to be held at the YMCA grounds here later in the evening which will be addressed by the DMK leader.

Karunanidhi, in his birthday message, urged party cadres to continue to work for the welfare of TN. Recalling the “sacrifices” of his party for Tamil language, culture and the people, he said, “Let us work untiringly, I invite you with love.”

Party headquarters ‘Anna Arivalayam’ was decked up for the event and has been glittering with decorative lamps since Wednesday night.
