DMK leader M.K. Stalin extended affectionate birthday greetings on December 19, 2016, to party General Secretary Professor K. Anbazhagan on completing ninety-four distinguished years. Stalin highlighted that the veteran stalwart continued to protect the ideological bastions of the Dravidian movement with an unyielding spirit and profound intellectual clarity, standing shoulder to shoulder with party president Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi.

Stalin observed that the friendship and mutual trust shared between Karunanidhi and Anbazhagan was historic in political history. Together, they navigated the trials of the anti-Hindi agitations, the Emergency, multiple electoral victories, and periods of political struggle without wavering on core Dravidian tenets. Anbazhagan's scholarly demeanor, organizational discipline, and unswerving commitment to self-respect philosophy served as a living textbook of public probity for every grassroots worker in the Dravidian movement.

The opposition leader wished the revered professor centenary longevity, robust health, and enduring intellectual vigor. Stalin affirmed that at a time when political values faced erosion, Anbazhagan's upright presence served as an inspirational beacon for the entire state. He pledged that the party cadre would continue to march forward along the progressive path illuminated by Karunanidhi and Anbazhagan.
