  "summary": "The Tamil Nadu Assembly heard an allegation on August 31 that the DMK government led by former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi had denied a burial site on the Marina for Congress leader K. Kamaraj and refused permission to construct a memorial. Senior DMK leader Thangam Thennarasu refuted the allegation, stating that the original plan was to keep Kamaraj's body at the Teynampet Congress ground, cremate him there, and construct a memorial. Thennarasu cited speeches from Rajaram Naidu and Pazha Nedumaran, recalling that the Congress had not expected any government honours and that the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues treated Kamaraj's death as that of a brother.",
