PRESS RELEASE by Dr. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY

PRESS RELEASE I demand that the Union Government probe the end use of the money and other relief materials collected in the name of suffering Sri Lankan Tamils, by the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Mr.Karunanidhi, and as AIADMK leader has warned, the Union Government must ensure that these funds and materials do not end up with the LTTE, an internationally banned terrorist outfit. Most of the suffering Sri Lanka Tamils are presently being held as hostage and a buffer against a Sri Lanka army attack by the LTTE. Hence, India should assist the Sri Lanka government to free these poor helpless Tamils from the clutches of the LTTE and re-settle them in safe camps. The Central Government should also seek the cooperation of Sri Lanka to set up a cohesive Committee of democratically minded and of anti-LTTE commitment those Sri Lankan Tamil personalities who can occupy positions of authority once the Sri Lankan Constitution is amended with the already agreed devolution proposals. Today not one country in the world including Norway is willing to speak up for the LTTE. Many have banned it as a terrorist organisation. Even their "Tamil nationalist hero" Mr. Karunanidhi has to camouflage his support for the LTTE in the name of the suffering Tamils in the island. He does not dare to support openly the LTTE even as he sheds a few tears and pens a poem for their fallen in battle. His call for the ceasefire has been summarily rejected by his own government at the centre. The LTTE's national and global isolation thus is complete and total. Violence in the end does not secure or promote any cause.
