Premalatha Vijayakanth, wife of Vijayakanth and general secretary of the DMDK, said that this is the first time that Tamil Nadu has seen such an emotional farewell in its history.
Vijayakanth, who passed away on Thursday morning, was laid to rest at his party headquarters with full state honour. Many political leaders and celebrities were present at the funeral.
Premam director Alphonse Puthren has also claimed that J. Jayalalithaa and M. Karunanidhi were murdered. He said that the current Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin are the next target of the 'killers'.
