DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) leader and Rajya Sabha member Kanimozhi also paid tributes to Jayalalithaa.

"Surviving as a woman in a male dominated political world is not an easy task. Late AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa confronted the challenges and proved successful. The lack of clarity shrouding her final days are very unfortunate and not befitting the leader she was," Kanimozhi tweeted.

It is to be mentioned that Jayalalithaa passed away on December 5, 2016. She was suffering from fever and dehydration and underwent medical treatment for about 75 days before her demise.
