Mr Waytha has been unable to continue with his writings as his condition has considerably deteriorated.

Mr Waytha Moorthy’s condition continues to deteriorate. The medical report from yesterday shows serious deterioration in his bodily functions. Quoting from the report:

“It is now well into the 19th day of Mr Waythamoorthy’s hunger Viratham strike. He appears very weak and disorientated, his blood pressure is erratic. There have also been several episodes of fainting the last few days. His urine sample also indicates a very high level of circulating ketones as well as hematuria. He also suffers from Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension as well as Right Ventricular Tachycardia Dysplasia. A team of doctors, including myself, have been making periodic visits to oversee his general well being. Occasionally IV Drips were given.” 

The Doctors are recommending, “It is of our professional opinion that Mr Waytha should stop his fast immediately and seek proper medical attention at a hospital set up to prevent any further damage to his internal organs.”

The political leaders of both the BN and Pakatan seem not to be worried about any adverse outcome on Mr Waytha Moorthy. They have it within them to review the proposals in the blueprint which are the focus of the Hunger Viratham and to accommodate them into national policy. The proposals in the blueprint are entirely justifiable, but these leaders look askance.

This, Hindraf believes is the inevitable fate of the minorities in the country. Their rights and interests will forever be compromised. When they speak up, they will be beaten down as being sectarian or racist. All kinds of arguments will be put forward why their requests are “terlalu”.

Mr Waytha Moorthy continues his Hunger Viratham despite these developments..
