more-inThe DMK mouthpiece Murasoli will from Wednesday address M.K. Stalin only as “working president” of the party in its reports and advertisements and not mention him by name. Instead, he would be addressed as “working president”. It has been a tradition in Murasoli not to name Mr Karunanidhi. He is always referred to by his popular moniker ‘Kalaignar” (artiste) whereas Mr. Stalin was referred by name preceded by the moniker Thalapathi (commander).
