The former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and DMK patriarch, M. Karunanidhi, should be honoured with the Bharat Ratna as a tribute to his outstanding and exemplary work, DMK MP Tiruchi Siva said on Friday in the Rajya Sabha.

Mr. Siva said Karunanidhi had been the tallest leader of the country and a Dravidian stalwart who, in the course of 80 years in public life, fought for the cause of the downtrodden, the backward and the suppressed people. “He was an outstanding orator, a prolific writer, a novelist, a short-story writer, a philosopher, a philanthropist and also a dramatist. He was an actor and also wrote scripts for 80 movies,” Mr. Siva said.

Speaking at length about the achievements of Karunanidhi as Chief Minister, Mr. Siva said: “He fought for equal rights for women in ancestral property, widows’ rehabilitation and established slum clearance board and many other boards for the unorganised sector and even for transgenders. He brought about revolutionary reforms.
