At the conference, Chief Minister M.K.Stalin spoke as a special guest and said, "The path laid by Karunanidhi is to love the disabled brothers and provide the necessary facilities without asking. Karunanidhi was the one who gave rise to the self-esteem of differently-abled persons.
In 15 months, this government has implemented countless welfare schemes worth Rs.759 crore for the disabled. Karunanidhi used a wheelchair due to old age. He used it when his legs did not have the strength to support his body weight.
