By Rangajeeva Rajakaruna

As the investigation into the alleged LTTE conspiracy to kill in India further deepened in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu India’s Janata Party leader Subramaniyan Swamy demanded New Delhi should dismiss the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)provincial government in Chennai for its soft attitude for the Sri Lankan terrorist group.

The DMK government is headed by Chief Minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi.“ To serve its own purposes the DMK administration has been supporting the cause of the Tamil Tigers to create a separate state in Sri Lanka,” Swamy alleged during a press conference in Chennai.

Chennai Police meanwhile arrested two more people in connection with the alleged LTTE conspiracy in which a man described as an LTTE intelligence operative and seven others who are alleged to have been following the activities of the Sri Lankan Minister Douglas Devananda , who comes to Chennai often with the intention of killing him.

The two people newly arrested , according to the Q Branch – the branch of the Tamil Nadu Police which investigates into terrorist activities-are also connected with the alleged LTTE Tamil Nadu intelligence man and seven more people who had been taken into custody earlier. The two newly arrested were allegedly supporting the people who were arrested earlier for gathering information and procuring arms for the LTTE.

The newly arrested two, Selvaraj (60) a native of Kumakonam currently working at a sweet mart in Mumbai and Dileeepan (23) from the Mottamalai refugee camp in Virudhungur have been taken into custody on a confession made by the earlier arrested LTTE intelligence man. The intelligence man ,Thambidurai Paremeshwaran , was detained on January 16 .

In addition of procuring iron balls , which are heavily used for the LTTE claymore mines the operatives were gathering information of the movements of Sri Lanka’s cabinet minister Douglas devananda and former Chief Minister Vardaraja Perumal , two politicians, whose names are on a hit list of the terrorist group. Devananda has survived many attempts made on his life.

According to reports , Selvaraj had been lured into the buying of iron balls by the intelligence operative Thambidurai Parameshwaran for a heavy price.
