DMK President M.K. Stalin who was participating in a party programme organized to deliver relief aid in Kolathur, fainted after feeling giddy and was later taken to a hospital.
The party had initially denied it to be false and asked people to not believe in rumours. However, the DMK chief who had later met the press in Kolathur, said that he had felt mild dizziness and fatigue. He said that doctors ran a ECG and a blood pressure test and that he was fine now.
