Chennai: Former chief minister J Jayalalithaa did not want anyone to visit her during her stay in hospital, her aide V K Sasikala said in an affidavit submitted to the Justice Arumughasamy commission, sources privy to the affidavit told TOI.
“Just as I remained inside my Poes Garden residence for seven and a half months after getting bail in the disproportionate assets case conviction and did not meet anyone, I don’t want to meet anyone until my health becomes better and I leave the hospital. After going home, I shall meet all the cadres and senior leaders,” Jayalalithaa said, as per Sasikala’s 55-page, 99-paragraph affidavit. This particular submission is on paragraph 60, the sources said.
The commission was set up by the state government to probe the circumstances surrounding Jayalalithaa’s death. She was admitted to Apollo Hospitals on September 22, 2016 and died on December 5, 2016. “The commission is inquiring into the documents submitted,” an official of the commission said, declining to comment on the specifics.
The context for the admission in the affidavit was the stream of visitors to Apollo to visit Jayalalithaa, the affidavit said. When contacted, her counsel Raja Senthoor Pandian admitted to these details.
Sasikala has also submitted Jayalalithaa ‘removed the rice tube’— through which she was being given food — with her own hands. This was in mid-October, around 10 days after she underwent a tracheostomy. “She told the doctors that it is not comfortable. Based on the doctors’ recommendation, she was then given food orally.”
Sasikala also submitted details regarding Jaya’s thumb imprint on the nominations of three AIADMK candidates in the assembly bypoll in 2016.
This was taken in the presence of Dr P Balaji, a government doctor who is now member secretary of Transtan (Tnasplant Authority of Tamil Nadu).
The thumb-print was taken as there was intravenous fluid being injected through her wrist, the source quoted the affidavit as saying.
Sasikala also claimed that AIADMK leaders like deputy chief minister O Pannerselvam and Lok Sabha deputy speaker M Thambidurai saw Jayalalithaa from a distance when she was brought down from the Multi-Disciplinary Critical Care Unit (MDCCU) on the second floor to the first floor in-between September 22-27. This was also confirmed by Pandian. Labour minister Nilofer Kafil also saw her when she was being shifted on November 19, Sasikala said in the affidavit.
