Following his hospitalisation, his son and former Union Minister Dr Anbumani Ramadoss, who has been involved in a power struggle with his father, visited the senior Ramadoss at the hospital today.

This was the first time Anbumani was visiting his father after the relationship between them got strained in December last year, leading to Ramadoss stripping his son of the party president post, and retaining it with him.

Efforts by party members to bring about a rapprochement between them failed to yield results and Anbumani maintained that he continued to head the party as per the PMK’s resolution on extending his tenure as party president that was ratified by the Election Commission of India.
