DMK president M.K. Stalin has actually revealed grieving for a week when celebration flags will fly half-mast.
An academic-turned-politician, Mr. Anbazhagan first ended up being the basic secretary of the DMK in May 1977 after then incumbent V.R. Neduchezhian had parted ways to at first form his own party prior to ultimately merging it with the AIADMK established by M.G. Ramachandran. He was also the first secretary of the DMK’s trade union motion.
