Stalin, who is elected as President of DMK recently after the death of his father, got hospitalized last night (early hours of Thursday). He was suddenly taken to Apollo hospital in Chennai and the news created sort of tension among the cadre of the party. He underwent a minor surgery in the hospital. Some media reported it saying, Stalin was hospitalized with a kidney problem, but later it was turned out to be incorrect news.
Later Apollo hospital issued a statement saying minor surgical procedure was done for the removal of a cyst from his right thigh. T R Baalu, Principal Secretary, DMK issued another statement and told the cadre not to panic as it is very minor surgery. He stated, “There is nothing critical. As he was continuously involved in party works, he did not go for medical check-ups for the past two months. Doctors have examined Stalin and he will be in rest for one or two days”.
