Medical attention at VVT for Prabhakaran’s mother

UPDATE: Parvathi Ammal, the mother of slain Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is being treated at the Valvettithurai (VVT) Hospital as the conditions set out to enter Tamil Nadu were found to be too stringent, says former TNA member M.K. Sivajilingam.

Ms. Parvathi had arrived in Colombofrom Kuala Lumpur on May 10 after failing to get an extension of her one-month Malaysian visa and approval to enter Canada to stay with her daughter Vinothini Rajendran. The Indian government’s decision to grant her a visa was conditional, which her relatives said, were too stringent.

 Parvathi Ammal was partially paralysed in 2000, and for sometime now, has been completely bed-ridden. Her husband Thiruvengadam Velupillai died while in Lankan military’s care at Panagoda on January 6.
