DMK president M. Karunanidhi was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai early on Thursday. The 92-year-old has been undergoing treatment for back pain at his residence in Chennai. Reports said that Karunanidhi has been admitted for ‘optimisation of nutrition and hydration’. "Doctors have admitted him for a few tests. He will be back home in a few days," a DMK source said. "Karunanidhi [has been] admitted for optimisation of nutrition and hydration. He's stable... [and is being] treated by a team of doctors. He will be in hospital for a few days," a statement from Kauvery Hospital said. Mr Karunanidhi has not been seen in public for over a month. In October, a statement from his party said, "The DMK leader is unwell due to a drug-induced allergy. Doctors have advised him rest. Visitors should avoid visiting him and cooperate." This news amid reports of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha recovering at the hospital from her illness where she has been admitted over a month ago.
