Dear Thiru Hussaini,

I was deeply shocked and distressed to learn that you had performed an extreme act of penance in nailing yourself to a cross and offering a prayer for me to overcome all obstacles and to assume charge as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu again.

While I do appreciate the fervour of your actions, I consider that subjecting oneself to such an extreme act of self-inflicted pain should be avoided.

I thank you for the concern shown by you in my interest.

I advise you to take good care of yourself and hereafter not to take such drastic steps that may endanger your life.

Yours sincerely,

Jayalalithaa
