Senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala on Wednesday said the Madras High Court judgment to allow the burial of DMK supremo M. Karunanidhi at Marina Beach was a “setback for proxy callers”.

“Huge setback for proxy callers of Delhi Durbar conspiring to deny Anna his rightful burial place. Rahulji strongly supported the idea of a memorial for Karunanidhi at Marina. Why are central/state governments silent?” Surjewala tweeted.

The DMK had approached the High Court after the Tamil Nadu government declined their request to allow burial of DMK president and the state’s five-time Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who breathed his last on Tuesday evening, at Marina Beach.
