MDMK Chief Vaiko has appeared before a special tribunal reviewing India’s ban on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on Wednesday.
The LTTE ban was recently extended by five years under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act in India.
The special tribunal, headed by Justice G P Mittal, was set up in July to review the ban and had issued a call for responses.
Vaiko had initially applied to present evidence as well as cross-examine any evidence that was brought forward by the central government, but that application was rejected.
Hearings will be held in Chennai on the 26th and 27th of September.
