CHENNAI: MDMK general secretary Vaiko, a vociferous Tamil rights campaigner, who just got released on bail in a 2009 seditious speech case, was denied entry into Malaysia on Friday morning, charging him of being a member of LTTE and thus a ‘dangerous’ person to the country.
Vaiko was kept in an isolated place, charged the MDMK, which staged a protest before the Malaysian consulate in the evening.
As soon as he reached Kuala Lumpur Airport around 6.30 am, Malaysian immigration officials reportedly told Vaiko that his name was on the restricted list, though his visa was cleared in Chennai a week ago.
Accompanied by his secretary, Arunagiri, Vaiko was there to attend the wedding reception in the family of P Ramaswamy, Deputy Chief Minister of Penang State on Saturday evening.
The officials said since Vaiko’s secretary Arunagiri has a Malaysian visa, he could go to the restaurant and get some eatables for him. But protesting his detention, Vaiko declined the offer.
This led to protests in Chennai when MDMK cadre staged demonstration in front of Consulate-General of Malaysia.
DMDK founder Vijayakant, too, condemned Malaysia in this regard. How did the Malaysian authorities give him the visa if Vaiko is on the restricted list? Malaysian authorities should apologise to Vaiko and allow him into their country.”
Condeming the attitude of Malaysian government, DMK working president M K Stalin said: The Ministry of External Affairs should summon the officials of Malaysian Consulate and convey our displeasure over the denial of entry for MDMK general secretary Vaiko into Malaysia.”

Bravo …. Malaysia!
Don’t let this Tamil demagogue and terrorism suppirter, who entered Sri Lanka ILLEGALLY on many occasions to meet with his hero, the late unlamented SunGod Velupillai Prabhakaran, and to hold motivational classes in the Vanni for the murderous LTTE terrorists!
Send him PACKING home to Tamil Nadu, or send him to Sri Lanka to stand trial!
