Vaiko to fast against deportation of Prabhakaran’s ailing mother
April 17th, 2010 - 8:49 pm ICT by IANSChennai, April 17 (IANS) MDMK leader Vaiko has announced a mass protest fast April 23 to condemn the deportation of slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran’s ailing mother V. Parvathi.
In a statement issued here Saturday, Vaiko said: “MDMK will hold a mass protest fast in Chennai April 23 condemning the deportation of Parvathi Ammal by the Indian officials.”
On Friday night, a paralysed 79-year-old Parvathi, who arrived here from Kuala Lumpur in a Malaysian Airlines flight, was not allowed to alight and was deported by immigration officials.
The officials refused her entry to India in view of the law and order problem it might create.
LTTE supporters, MDMK General Secretary Vaiko and Tamil Nationalist Movement leader P.Nedumaran who had gone to the Chennai airport to receive Parvathi, were denied entry into the airport.
PMK founder S. Ramadoss in a statement said: “It is only the immigration officials who would have done this highhanded and inhuman act.”
He demanded that the central government permit Parvathi to enter India for treatment.
On April 13, an MP from Sri Lanka, M.K. Sivajilingam, who came here seeking medical treatment, was deported.
