We rushed our father to a private hospital after he complained of chest pain recently. After the medical examination, the Doctors informed us that there has been bleeding in his stomach and advised us to take him to a foreign country to provide better medical facilities. Upon their advice, we are taking him (T Rajendar) abroad for advanced medical treatment. He is doing completely fine and is in good consciousness. After undergoing the surgery successfully with good health, he will meet all of you. Heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and love."
