Stalin in his letter said: “Rather than calling you Appa, Appa, I have called you Thalaivaray, Thalaivaray (my leader) more number of times. Can I call you Appa once, Thalaivaray.”

Stalin asked his departed father Karunanidhi as to why he did not tell where he was going this time when his habit was always to inform his destination before starting out.

“Thirty-three years back, you had said your grave should have the words... the person who had worked without rest is resting here. Have you departed with the satisfaction of having worked hard for the Tamil community,” Stalin added.
