After a gap of 10 days, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa turned up at the state secretariat on Wednesday, putting an end to the Opposition's queries regarding her health condition.

Also, the All India Anna Dravida Munetra Kazhagam strongly hit out at the Dravida Munetra Kazhagam chief Karunanidhi for his health remark on Jayalalithaa on July 7 when he asked her to "take rest".

The chief minister gave away appointment orders to five persons out of a total of 1,006 recruited as assistant professors in state run colleges, virtually silencing the  opposition over the "health" row.

After she cited a "sudden illness" on July 1 cancelling her visit to an Iftar event organised by her party here, DMK chief Karunanidhi demanded to know her health status.

On July 13, when hopes that she will visit the Secretariat to give away the appointment orders did not materialise, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee chief Elangovan too demanded an explanation on her health.

Referring to this, AIADMK daily "Dr Namadhu MGR" on Wednesday said "Karunanidhi's slanderous remarks at the public meeting and his political stooge Elangovan giving statements (on health) is shameful."

Jayalalithaa had last visited the Secretariat on July 4 when she formally took oath of office as RK Nagar member of Legislative Assembly and also presided the signing of an MoU with the Adani Group for a power generation project.
