Prabhakaran’s mother can visit Tamil Nadu for treatment

The Madras High Court has granted unconditional permission to Parvathi Velupillai, mother of the late LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, to visit India for medical treatment.

Since being denied entry to Tamil Nadu in May, Mrs. Velupillai, 79 years, has been hospitalised in Velvettithurai, Jaffna. She arrived in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 16, from Malaysia, but was denied a visa.

According to her guardian, former Member of Parliament N. K. Sivajilingam, Mrs. Velupillai’s condition has not improved since she entered hospital two months ago.
