Stalin was rushed to the hospital around midnight following a complaint of discomfort in his Alwarpet house, according to DMK Principal Secretary TR Baalu.

“There is nothing critical. As he was continuously involved in party works, he did not go for medical check-ups for the past two months. Doctors have examined Stalin and he will be in rest for one or two days,” the leader was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
