PRO-LTTE ELEMENTS IN INDIA ARE CHARGED OF STARTING SEPARATIST ACTIVITIES AGAINST INDIA

By Walter Jayawardhana

New Delhi’s ruling Congress party’s legislature head D.Sudarsanam said after an emergency meeting of the ruling party law makers that some pro-Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) elements in India have started separatist work against India.

He said, “The Congress calls for stern action against pro-LTTE elements - regardless of their being politicians or media personalities as they have openly begun secessionist moves,”

It is believed most of the anti-Indian sentiments have been espoused by certain pro-LTTE and DMK film directors who delivered inflammatory speeches , October 19, at a film industry rally, which some film actors and actresses boycotted at Rameshwaram.

“The National Security Act should be invoked against movie directors Seeman and Ameer for canvassing support for terrorists, espousing separatist causes in India and threatening to start an armed rebellion from a public platform in Rameshwaram Oct 19.

“Failure to do so will result in agitations to prosecute persons like Seeman and Ameer who blatantly insulted Congress martyrs (late prime ministers) Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi,” Sudarsanam added.

Meanwhile India’s Tamil Nadu Opposition and AIADMK leader Jayalalitha Jayaram said, “The LTTE is a terrorist organisation linked to several fissiparous outfits in India and abroad. While local outfits like the banned People’s War Group, United Liberation Front of Assam and at least three terrorist movements in Tamil Nadu are known to be open collaborators with the Tigers, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence also has an unholy alliance with this outfit,”

She blamed Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and DMK Chief Minister of the state M. Karunanidhi for allowing LTTE elements to take root in her state.

Jayalalitha further said, “While during Karunanidhi’s rule, such movements always manage to take roots, it is surprising that former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s widow Sonia Gandhi has tacitly allowed the LTTE to operate freely in India. Rajiv Gandhi’s killers like Nalini (Murugan) have adopted holier-than-thou attitudes and claim to be fighting for their birthright of freedom after assassinating the former prime minister in cold blood,”

But Karunanidhi’s statement remained very pro-LTTE. Writing in the party journal Murasoli he said: Only those with treason against the Tamil nationality in their minds are opposing the spirited defence of the Tamil race’s origins rightful homeland - Eelam,”

The anti Indian elements want to separate Tamil Nadu from rest of India, it is alleged
