The Centre has allowed slain LTTE leader Prabhakaran's mother Parvathi Ammal to visit Tamil Nadu for medical treatment on certain conditions and granted a six-month visa.The Centre's decision in this regard was announced today by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi in a suo motu statement in the state Assembly.The Union Government's decision has been conveyed through a letter to the Indian Mission in Kuala Lumpur where she is staying at present, Karunanidhi said.He said the Centre's gesture to 80-year-old Parvathi was solely for the purpose of medical treatment.Immigration officials had last month deported Parvathi to Malaysia from where she had come to Chennai for treatment.Listing the various conditions, Karunanidhi said Parvathi should confine herself to the hospital and not stay anywhere else. He said Parvathi can take treatment in a government hospital if she so desired."State will make all necessary arrangements for it," he said.However, Parvathi should not have any contact with any political party or banned organisations or those connected with them, the Chief Minister said, adding, she should interact only with close relatives whom she has mentioned specifically.Karunanidhi said the Centre had passed the order to grant Parvathi a six-month visa without interrupting a pending case in the High Court."Usually this type of procedure will take a long time. However, considering Parvathi Ammal's health, the Centre and the state had taken the initiative (to speed up the process)," he said.After the deportation of Parvathi, some political parties in Tamil Nadu had raised the issue in the Assembly but Karunanidhi had then denied any knowledge about her visit.The Madras High Court had on April 30 given two weeks time to Parvathi to represent to the state government if she wanted to undergo medical treatment here following which she had sent an e-mail to the government seeking permission.The state government had written to the Union Home Secretary to consider allowing Parvathi for treatment provided certain conditions were met.
