“My dear brother Mursoli Selvam, who has been my brother-guide since childhood, giving me advice on operational tasks, presenting clear solutions in times of crisis, and standing shoulder to shoulder in my growth with the organization. After the departure of the Chief Artist, today I have lost that last shoulder to lean on – the pillar of principle,” posted MK Stalin.
