Vaiko denied visa for London
By Sri Lanka Guardian • November 24, 2008 • • Comments : 0
(November 24, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) MDMK leader Vaiko was denied visa on Sunday to travel to London apparently for his pro-LTTE stand, forcing him to cancel his air ticket for Monday.
While British Deputy High Commission officials here remained tight-lipped on the issue, police sources said that Vaiko cancelled his ticket following 'denial of visa'.
They said the MDMK leader was denied visa for his pro-LTTE stand as the militant organisation was also banned in Britain.
The vociferous supporter of the LTTE was to leave for London on 24 November to take part in a meeting of Tamils.
Vaiko, along with party presidium chairman M Kannappan, was arrested recently in Chennai for making pro-LTTE speeches during a meeting and released on bail after the government did not press for extension of their remand. - Sri Lanka Guardian
