New Delhi, July 31 (IBNS): Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday visited Chennai to meet DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi in hospital.

Karunanidhi is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital.

Gandhi wished the ex-Tamil Nadhu chief minister speedy recovery.

" I visited Kalaignar today. Wonderful to see that the Tamil fighting spirit that has endeared him to millions, is still strong! I join his fans all around the world, his well wishers and his family, in wishing him a speedy recovery. #Karunanidhi," Gandhi tweeted.

He also shared an image where he could be seen interacting with the family members of the senior southern politician.

"He is a tough person like the people of Tamil Nadu," Gandhi told media after meeting the DMK patriarch in the hospital.

"I am happy to see he is stable," he said.

Wishing Karunanidhi speedy recovery and conveying the message of ex-Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi said: "Sonia ji has sent her best wishes & regards to the family."

The 94-year-old leader, who was earlier under treatment at home, was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital in the wee hours of Saturday after his blood pressure had dropped.
