Kalaignar seeks Bharat Ratna for Arignar Anna

DMK President Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi on Aug 24 urged the Union government to confer Bharat Ratna to the party’s founder-leader and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Arignar Anna.  In separate letters to the President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the DMK leader said Anna had all the qualifications for receiving the country’s highest civilian award as a “great social reformer, writer, orator and litterateur.”
 “He is a great social reformer, great writer, orator and litterateur. His literary and political works, both in Tamil and English, have been acclaimed as one of the best in the State,” Kalaignar said in the letter which was as follows:
“We understand that the Government of India is considering conferment of ‘Bharat Ratna’ Award to some of our national leaders.
The founder leader of the DMK., Arignar Anna (C.N.Annadurai) is a great social reformer, great writer, orator and litterateur of Tamil Nadu. His literary and political works, both in Tamil and English has been acclaimed as one among the best in Tamil Nadu.
He fully deserves to be honoured with the highest civilian award of India the Bharat Ratna.
We request that Arignar Anna may be conferred with ‘Bharat Ratna’ award during the ensuing Republic Day.”
