Chennai: DMK chief M Karunanidhi on Monday greeted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on his birthday, hailing him for his 'profound scholarship and impeccable career'.

Karunanidhi, whose party is a key ally of Congress-led UPA, in a telegram to the Prime Minister wished him a very long life of good health and happiness.

"Despite innumerable problems, you have been able to steer clear, because of your vast and varied experience, profound scholarship and impeccable career," the former Tamil Nadu chief minister said.
