Revelation by a Senior Tiger

Kirubakaran Kokuvil Jaffna

Recently I met my nephew Ravichandran a.k.a "Elango", a senior member of Prabakaran's "Tigers" at one of my relatives funeral. He was talking to me for more than 90 minutes.

He told me that Prabakaran did not build his organization from outpouring support from majority of Tamils. After Neervely People's Bank robbery, which was carried out by Kuttimani, Thangathurai & Prabakaran in March 1981, Prabakaran tipped of the whereabouts of Kuttimani & Thangathurai to Police to keep the loot for himself. After the 1983 riots, most of the Prabakaran's Tigers in South India survived using the financial support from Sri Lankan Lawyer Maheswary Velautham who was running a charity and information centre in Madurai. Recently Maheswary was killed by Prabakaran due to her relationship with Douglas Devananda.

In 1984, MGR – former Tamil Nadu chief minister gave 50million Indian Rs to Prabakaran. Again in 1985 MGR gave another 100 million Indian Rs. Prabakaran used this money to buy rifles, rocket launchers and ammunition from Lebanon. Later MGR gave 450 million Rs to Prabakaran. Prabakaran used this money to buy 12 small ships. In 1987 & 1988 Premadasa gave numerous helicopter loads of money and arms to Prabakaran. In return Premadasa wanted Prabakaran to chase Indian forces out of Sri Lanka and kill suspected JVP members arrested by the Sri Lankan Government forces. Prabakaran chased IPKF using Premadasa supplied arms and money and cruelly murdered sixty thousand JVP members rounded up by Sri Lankan forces. That's why even now JVP is very much worried about Karuna, since JVP suspects that like Premadasa, Mahinda may use Karuna gang to kill JVP members. Due its past experience, JVP (which is funded by China) wants to disarm Karuna Gang.

Tamil Nadu cinema industry depends on Prabakaran's funding. Even Government of Sri Lanka was alleging that Ayngaran International – Mega Tamil Film producer is funded by Prabakaran using the money collected from Tamil Diaspora in Europe. Now Prabakaran has several Tamil Nadu Politicians and journalists in his pocket. At the moment Prof Sivathamby & TNA MP Suresh were the main liaison persons between Prabakaran and Tamil Nadu politicians. Prabakaran spent over 360 million Indian Rs in last two months buy support from Tamil Nadu politicians & journalists. Since Prabakaran murdered many UNP leaders, now UNP leadership is scared to blame Prabakaran. Prabakaran knows how to escape from any government actions. Just for an example, Canadian government banned Prabakaran's charity organization which was collecting money for Prabakaran. But Prabakaran opened up another organisation "C.A.R.E "to collect money from Canadian Tamils. "C.A.R.E " is not a registered organisation – So Canadian government can not ban its operations. Also busy Canadian Tamil Diaspora may think that this "C.A.R.E" may be the same CARE international which supplied biscuits to Sri Lankan schools.

Now Prabakaran is regretting three blunder mistakes, murdering Rajiv, allowing Karuna to escape and helping Mahinda to get elected.
