60 ஆண்டுகால சட்டமன்ற வரலாற்றில் அவர் செயல்பட்ட விதமும் பேராற்றலும் பலமிக்க எதிர்க்கட்சியாக விளங்கும் திமுக வினருக்கு இன்றும் வழிகாட்டுகிறது.

DMK working president M.K. Stalin highlighted on March 31, 2017, that Dr. M. Karunanidhi's extraordinary parliamentary conduct, immense dynamism, and profound intellect over sixty years in the legislature serve as an enduring beacon for the DMK. Stalin stated that as a formidable and vigilant opposition party, the DMK draws continuous inspiration from Kalaignar's historic legislative interventions. Karunanidhi consistently demonstrated how an alert opposition could hold executive power accountable and champion people's welfare.

Stalin emphasized that Kalaignar's parliamentary career demonstrated that legislative assemblies are sacred instruments meant to elevate the impoverished, protect democratic freedoms, and debate policies with rigorous intellectual depth. Whether occupying treasury benches as Chief Minister or leading the opposition during authoritarian periods, Karunanidhi never boycotted constructive debates or compromised on people's fundamental rights. His encyclopedic grasp of legislative procedures, budgetary details, and public administration established an unmatched standard of parliamentary excellence.

The DMK leader pledged that the party's legislators will conscientiously follow Kalaignar's illustrious path across all forums. He affirmed that the DMK will persistently utilize legislative platforms to defend federal rights and protect ordinary citizens throughout Tamil Nadu.
