one

It

had
brought
the
latter

said,
"When
Ponmana
Semmal
MGR
was
hospitalized,
we
did
such
a
prayer,
He
was
back
hale
and
hearty.
Similarly,
we
will
pray
for
the
recovery
of
SPB
now.
Let's
join
irrespective
of
caste,
language,
or
creed
for
SPB.
His
voice
should
be
heard
again.
Let's
come
together
and
pray."
