"As I had already mentioned, though I differ with her ideologically, it is my desire that she recovers soon and take up official duties as usual," he said and wished her a speedy recovery.


Karunanidhi said although Apollo hospital, where the Chief Minister is recuperating from fever and dehydration, was issuing bulletins about her health, "some unwanted rumours" were deliberately being floated by "some persons."


 


"Some persons are spreading unwanted rumours about her health on the social media and to put an end to these, proper information about the Chief Minister's health must be made available to the people," he said in a statement.


Karunanidhi suggested that photographs of the Chief Minister be released through the media to quell any kind of rumours being circulated about her health.


Jayalalithaa (68) was admitted to the hospital on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration.


She has been advised to stay for a few days at the hospital.
