    Madras HC allows burial of Karunanidhi at Marina Beach
  • The Madras HC has allowed DMK to bury its party chief Karunanidhi at Chennai's Marina Beach, for which the state government had refused permission.

    It had offered land at Gandhi Mandapam instead.

    Meanwhile, thousands lined up to see Karunanidhi's mortal remains as they were taken from CIT Colony to Rajaji Hall today.

    PM Narendra Modi has also arrived in Chennai.

  • Marina has the burial sites of iconic figures like DMK founder Annadurai, AIADMK founder MG Ramachandran, and former CM J Jayalalithaa.

    The state government denied permission to DMK to bury Karunanidhi there, citing pending PILs at the Madras HC challenging the construction of memorials on the beach.

  • Other party leaders had supported DMK's demand. "He converted Marina into a Tamil cultural symbol," said VCK's Ravikumar.

    "Kalaignar was an expression of the voice of the Tamil people. That voice deserves space on Marina," said Congress' Rahul Gandhi.

    Actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth requested the government to "make all efforts."

    "The TN people won't forgive the government if it denies burial land," said NC's Farooq Abdullah.

  • Earlier today, the court dismissed the petitions cited by the government, filed by Traffic Ramaswamy, K Balu and Duraisamy, against the construction of memorials at Marina.

    It directed Ramaswamy's lawyer to file a memorandum declaring he has no objection to Karunanidhi's burial at Marina.

    Accordingly, he has filed it.

    Incidentally, another petitioner revoked her plea yesterday itself. The HC has declared it withdrawn.
