Excerpts from the editorial of New Indian Express:
"The New Indian Express poll found that despite the remarkable groundswell of support the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have, mobilising Tamil opinion on the Sri Lankan issue was certainly not on top of their wish list of things politicians needed to devote their energies urgently. They would much rather that Karunanidhi devoted more energy to contain the prices and ameliorate the power situation in the state, for example. Yet, the chief minister has personally raised the stakes in the game of competitive politics to an unsustainable level and by using the word Eelam set a disturbing political precedent in an atmosphere surcharged with pre-election political manoeuvres.
Many might wonder what the state Congress unit is coming to in a meeting devoted to partisan special pleading."
