Chennai: A host of leaders, including Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and MDMK founder Vaiko have enquired about the health of ailing DMK president M Karunanidhi, the party said on Saturday.

Rahul Gandhi and former union minister Ghulam Nabi Azad inquired about the health of Karunanidhi with his daughter and Rajya Sabha MP, Kanimozhi over phone, a party release said.
