Vaiko, a Rajya Sabha MP, arrived at Tirunelveli on May 25 to take part in the wedding of MDMK Kanniyakumari District Secretary Vetrivel's daughter. The 80-year leader sustained injuries due to the fall at his house in his native Kalingapatti village in Tirunelveli district. In a post on social media platform X, Durai Vaiko said his father has been taken to Chennai where he will undergo a ''small surgery'' and there is nothing to be worried about. Vaiko reached Chennai by flight from Thoothukudi as doctors advised immediate surgery, the MDMK principal secretary said.
