Hande, who was the Health Minister during the AIADMK government under M.G. Ramachandran, on Wednesday handed over the latter’s medical file from 1984 to Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami at the Secretariat. The file has about 30 sheets relating to the health and medical opinion of various doctors from the then Madras and Bombay cities when MGR was hospitalised in Apollo Hospitals here during October and November 1984. When asked why the file was not returned to MGR, Mr. Hande said when he had approached MGR with the file, the former CM had said the file would be safe with him. Since the AIADMK government under Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami has been celebrating the birth anniversary, I thought it would be appropriate to hand over the file to the government,” Mr. Hande said.
