Former Member of Parliament M.K. Sivajilingam has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private hospital in Colombo due to an illness, according to his relatives.
Sivajilingam, a prominent figure in Sri Lankan Tamil politics, served as an MP in 2004, representing the Tamil National Alliance (TNA).
Recently, he garnered widespread attention for his controversial act of cutting a cake during the ‘Mahaviru’ (Mavirer Nala) celebrations in the Northern Province.
Notably, Sivajilingam is a distant relative of the late LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.
