In response to a passing mention by Sholavandhan MLA, M.V. Karuppaiah, that former DMK president M. Karunanidhi wasn’t present in the Assembly during the 2011-16 period, former DMK Minister R. Sakkarapani said the late leader had not been present in the Assembly because the government of the time did not make arrangements to accommodate his wheelchair.
