DMK general secretary and Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan on Saturday said the former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi’s skills are unparalleled in history - be it in politics, cinema, literature , arts and culture.
Inaugurating a day-long birth centenary celebrations of the former president of DMK here, Mr. Duraimurugan said that dialogues written by Karunanidhi for many movies including Sivaji Ganesan starrer Parasakthi and Manogara in the early decades of independence still remained fresh in everyone’s memory. Those dialogues were not mere words but had life in it, making the audience connect easily. “Even today, many newcomers, especially young actors, are asked to say those dialogues to test their dialogue delivery skills,” he said.
In politics, the Minister said Karunanidhi’s skills were even sharper. For example, hoisting of national flags on Independence day and Republic day was restricted to the Governors in the State in the initial decades of independence. However, it was Karunanidhi who pitched for the rights of Chief Minister to hoist the national flag.
