They are hanging around in Western capitals because they know that Prabhakaran cannot stop the advance. So they are running desperately behind their MPs and Churchmen to stop the forces. They have played all their cards and drawn a blank.
The Western capitals that were giving them a helping hand have now washed their hands off Prabhakaran. The last card was to activate Tamil Nadu. But what is the result? Chief Minister Karunanidhi double-crossed the Tamils and threw the resignation handed by his daughter into the wastepaper basket. It was big news when he threatened to pull out of the Manmohan Singh government.
Is anybody talking about it now? How long are we going to deceive our own people?
Our people have being living on a diet of false promises. The misguided Tamils in the diaspora are financing these false promises which are leading to more deaths. Neither the Tamil people nor the Tiger cadres can live on false promises forever. Sooner or later the truth will dawn on them and then they will realize that they can find some hope only in the Sri Lankan flag.
After thirty odd years of failure everyone we are forced to admit that what is needed now is not war but peace. We missed all the chances that were given to us when the Tigers shot the Ceasefire Agreement to pieces.

FIJI NEWS IN BRIEF
Budget 2009 Interim Prime Minister Bainimarama says with the budget being prepared at a time of unprecedented developments in the global financial system and economy, Fiji and its people must be prepared to absorb the shocks, in the wake of this international crisis.
The main focus of the 2009 Budget is to get Fiji out of its low growth, low investment and low production cycle.
Bainimarama also declared economically stricken areas in the country tax free zones for up to 13 years. This, he says, is to encourage investment, a growth in economic activities, as well as an opportunity to create more employment.
Fiji man jailed for rape in Australia A Fijian-born who choked his victim unconscious before raping her, then tried to blame her for the crime, has been jailed for nine years.
The Adelaide District Court today ordered 29-year-old Nilesh Prasad to serve a minimum four-year term before he is eligible for parole. Prasad was found guilty, by a jury, of one count of rape and one count of choking with the intent of committing an offence. By: FBCL

Smooth resettlement of IDPs in the East
More than 150,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) have returned to their former villages in the east over the past year, according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
The displacement in 2008 of some 230,000 people in the northern part of the country under the control of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has overshadowed the largely peaceful resettlement of significant numbers of IDPs to their villages in the east, the agency said in a statement released on 6 November.
“Sri Lanka’s east experienced a similar wave of displacement two years ago when government forces regained LTTE-held territories in the region,” UNHCR said. “By the end of March 2007, some 170,000 people were reportedly displaced across Batticaloa and Trincomalee Districts.”
The UN agency said only 15,500 IDPs still remained in the two districts and the return process “has seen substantial improvements, thanks to interventions by the UN Refugee Agency and other humanitarian
early 2007,” Basil Sylvester, the district coordinator for Batticaloa District for the Consortium of Humanitarian Agencies (CHA), an umbrella body of international and national relief agencies, told IRIN.
The UNHCR said that when the return process began in March 2007 some agencies were concerned at the swift pace of the return process. “In the past, some returns were rushed, but the process has seen substantial improvements since its inception,” Jens Hesemann, head of UNHCR’s field office in Batticaloa, said in the statement. Returnees visit their former villages before they return, UNHCR stated, giving IDPs the opportunity to raise their concerns with local public officials and military commanders. During one such recent visit, the IDPs raised concerns over security, UNHCR stated. “Some of these villages are in remote areas that cannot be accessed very easily or quickly, so protection is still very much on their minds,” CHA’s Sylvester told IRIN.

Sylvester said the villages still needed infrastructure development. “These places have suffered due to continuous conflict for over two decades,” he said.

Your editorial titled “Can the tigers save the Tamils?” in the Uthayam issue of the October 2008 has contended that Prabaharan had ceased to be the solution and instead he had become the problem. The editorial further contends among other matters “By all accounts, it is clear that Prabaharan has passed his use-by- date, he has nothing new to offer except death and destruction.
He has become the messenger of death. No sensible Tamil who has gone through these harrowing years will want to live under enormous pressures of uncertainty, suffering, destruction and death”. Vavuniya has never been under the control of LTTE. It has been a liberated area and under the value of the Sri Lankan Government for years. But are the people of Vavuniya living in peace? One doesn’t need to go too far
other than to read another feature titled “Vavuniya and Vanni descend into despair” on page 5 of the same issue. The article gives a vivid account about the agony and untold sufferings people of Vavuniya undergo at the hands of Tamil groups such as TELO, PLOTE EPDP etc. If the editorial writer were to read the above mentioned article he would find that Sri Lankan Government too is not offering anything to the Tamils except eternal death, destruction and terror.
Before liberating Vanni area from the clutches of the LTTE it would be very much better for the Government to rid Vavuniya and other “liberated” areas of “ghost” terrorists who are making a mockery of the concept of liberation.

Will He Won’t He?
He might be a Superstar but his political baptism is akin to the fable about the boy and the wolf. His sheen seems to has worn off even among his die-hard fans who are convinced that Rajnikanth is “confused”. “You may be a good actor but you cannot succeed in politics,” is Ramadoss’ take. Or does friend and former union minister Shatrughan Sinha, who met Rajnikanth at his residence last Saturday, know better? According to Shotgun Sinha, “He (Rajnikanth) is a public asset now. He cannot be in a shell. People of Tamil Nadu are in for a big surprise.”
the plunge in 2011. That’s when he’ll turn 60.”
But Rajni is in great demand by the BJP, which has not made much headway here politically unlike in Karnataka where it has formed a government. But efforts are on as demonstrated by BJP’s PM-designate dropping in at Rajni’s residence this week and exchanging talks while Rajni’s wife, Latha, and high-profile daughter Soundarya played gracious hosts. A little later, Rajni was the surprise guest at the release of Advani’s autobiography (My Country, My Life) in Tamil. But Rajni was noncommittal as always. Besides, he

So what explains the presence of Rajnikanth as the surprise guest at the book- release function of the Tamil version of Advani’s autobiography? But a word of caution for him. Actor Vijay is playing catch up -- both in films and politics
somersault on the Lankan issue.” Later this week, Vijay’s fans are going to join him in a hunger fast on the issue. His PRO P T Selvakumar says: “Vijay has always been in the forefront of protests for people’s causes including the fund mobilisastion drive for Kargil war.” Reliable sources say that Vijay’s father director-father S A Chandrasekharan is grooming his son for a future political role. Looks like he’s got a head start.
PMK-DMK: Back to Bhai Bhai Soon
After being consigned to the doghouse a couple of months ago, PMK’s S. Ramadoss is well on his way to becoming the proverbial prodigal son. The groundwork has been laid after his
or its chief for target practice. Instead he’s picking on actor turned politician Viajaykanth and dispensing advice to the superstar Rajnikanth who cannot make up his mind about politics. But it’s just a matter of time. Or as politicians love to say “it’ll happen at the appropriate time.”
The Acorn Does Not Fall Far From The Tree
Like father, like son. Chip of the old block. These are expressions used when a son blazes trails like his father. But in the case of the Saravana Bhavan father and son duo, it might be appropriate to say the acorn does not

He cannot be in a shell. People of Tamil Nadu are in for a big surprise.”
Sinha says right now Rajni is concentrating on his film. But after his last dud at the box office in the shape of Kuselan, Rajni might want to leave tinseltown in a blaze of glory. That opportunity comes in the form of the overhyped Aendhiran (Robot) in which he stars opposite Aishwariya Rai. Now, Aishwariya Rai, despite her aura and beauty has not exactly made the cash registers jingle in the past.
But Chiranjeevi, megastar from tinseltown who fielded eggs from the Telangana Rashtra Samithi during his AP road show last week, said something that ties in with what Shotgun said. Claiming that he too had an inside track to the Superstar, he said: “Rajni told me that he might take
Advani’s autobiography (My Country, My Life) in Tamil. But Rajni was noncommittal as always. Besides, he does not want to jeopardise his film career, considering that breaking bread with the BJP will not go down well with the DMK.
Will Vijay Get There First?
But here’s a word of caution for Rajni. Actor Vijay is playing catch up -- both in films and politics. On his 34th birthday on June 22, he had launched a flag for his fan clubs. Recently at his say so, his fans peppered the PM’s office with telegrams seeking his intervention for a ceasefire in Sri Lanka. In fact 30,000 telegrams were sent as compared to 1,200 sent in response to Karunanidhi’s appeal to his cadres and 5,000 sent at Jayalalitha’s urging to her cadre “over his (Karunanidhi’s)
a couple of months ago, PMK’s S. Ramadoss is well on his way to becoming the proverbial prodigal son. The groundwork has been laid after his meeting with union minister T R Baalu and all that is left for the kiss and make up ritual is a meeting with DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi, who jettisoned the PMK from the rainbow coalition that was formed after he came back to power a little over two years ago. Karunanidhi’s problem is that his ruling coalition is in tatters because the PMK’s exit was soon followed by the commies which left him at the mercy of the Congress. The CM also got fed up of the Congress (with 35 MLAs), which did not let go of any opportunity to needle him about having to sharing power with the Grand Old Party.
On the Sri Lankan issue, even though TNCC president K V Thangabalu got bamboozled into becoming, well, party to the all party resolution of October 14 that threatened the resignation of all MPs unless the centre ensured a ceasefire in Sri Lanka, Karunanidhi is far from establishing himself as the protector of all Tamils. In fact, his plaintive cry is that he’s ready to quit because beyond ensuring that nearly Rs 15 crore of supplies was sent to Tamil brethren, he has been able to do precious little. On the other hand, Vaiko has added to his pro-LTTE credentials by spending more jail time earning many brownie points.
Ramadoss’ dilemma is also that he had to deal with the ego of AIADMK chief J Jayalalitha. And that was difficult considering that he himself is considered a megalomaniac. He’s biding his time but the signs are there -- for instance, he’s not using the DMK
But in the case of the Saravana Bhavan father and son duo, it might be appropriate to say the acorn does not fall far from the tree. In 2001, P Rajagopal was arrested in connection with the murder of one of his employees, Shantakumar. The local press had a field day projecting him as a philanderer and that he coveted his employees’ wives. The whole controversy was played out when it became known that the murdered employee’s wife, Jeevajyoti, went to the police commissioner and complained that Rajagopal was stalking her. Rajagopal was convicted in 2004 for the murder of Shantakumar and was sentencd to 10 years in jail and ordered to pay a fine of Rs 50 lakhs. He subsequently went in appeal and is currently out on bail. Now it transpires that Rajagopal, while in Trichy jail, almost got beaten up by other inmates for telling them he was “not a criminal like you.” Prison officials had to intervene and rescue him from the angry inmates.
Now family and friends of Saravana MD P R Shivakumar have been sending feelers to police officials saying they are worried about his safety in the prison. Shivakumar was denied bail in the human trafficking case against him. He was arrested for producing forged documents to obtain visas for four of his cooks, following a complaint by the American consulate. Shivakumar heads the overseas operation of the hotel chain which has over 20 outlets abroad including in the US, UK, the Gulf and Malaysia.

Muslims to protest against
Champika Ranawaka
An organization of Muslims recently protested against what it calls intimidatory and anti-Muslim remarks by government minister Patali Champika Ranawaka. President of Muslims’ Rights Organization Mujibur Rahman said all Muslim traders in Colombo city downed their shutters. As a leader of JHU, Mr. Ranawaka can mark any statement, but as a cabinet minister, his statements are the responsibility of the government, said Mr. Rahman. The President has ordered a disciplinary inquiry against another minister P. Chandrasekaran, whereas there is total government silence regarding Mr. Ranawaka. When contacted, JHU spokesman Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe rejected the accusation of the minister having made anti-Muslim remarks, and said he had only portrayed the true picture of the country. Saying that Sri Lanka’s civilization, history and culture belong to Sinhala Buddhists, Mr. Warnasinghe claimed they are the rightful owners of this country. The national heritage belongs solely to Sinhalese, while Muslims and Tamils are the other ethnicities of the country. According to the JHU spokesman, Muslims had come to this island around 300 or 400 years ago, but they have the right to live here according to their tradition. Throughout history, Sinhala

The ceremony was organized by the party to mark the first anniversary of the re-launch of the party’s official organ ‘Siyarata’ at the J. R. Jayewardene Centre in Colombo yesterday. Opposition UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe also stressed on the need for preparing for an election reiterating that the government would be compelled to go for a snap general election with an impending crash of the economy. He said those who did not initially accept the UNP’s warning that the economy would collapse had now

Do you know him?
A Sri Lankan by the name of Anton Karunaratne has lost his memory. The University Hospital in San Antonio, Texas issued a bulletin requesting Sri Lankans who know the identity of Mr. Karunaratne to contact them. He has no recollection of who he is apart from the name and nationality. University Hospital’s social workers need your help in finding friends and family of 55-year-old Anton. Social workers hope someone can help him return home. Those who recognize Mr. Karunaratne

Oil Deals, Banks and Self interest –
But Whose?
Bad decision making by the Government and potentially unethical profit taking by a foreign bank offering select price hedging solutions for Sri Lanka’s oil imports are now costing an already impoverished consumer an extraordinary Rs 16 billion or much more upto June 2009.
This comes at a time when firstly, the global financial crisis has already unseated at least 10 heads of giant American financial corporations, yet to be brought to account for unethical and supposedly ignorant banking practices which initially raised billions in profits but have now cost tax paying consumers and the US economy dearly. The international ramifications
He said those who did not initially accept the UNP’s warning that the economy would collapse had now begun realise the party’s stand. Mr. Wickremesinghe charged that the government was preventing journalists from writing and publishing the truth. He said journalists were wondering today as the whole nation was facing an economic disaster and at the same time fearing that they would be done away with if they report it. “The time has come to speak the truth and die,” he said indicating that journalists should not be afraid to speak the truth.
TRO members noticed to appear in
court
Eight members of the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) were yesterday noticed to appear before the Colombo Magistrates Court on February 3 next year for allegedly funding the LTTE. Colombo’s Additional Magistrate Ms. Kumari Abeyratne made the order following an application filed by CID officer
He said Udhayan was the head of the Road Development Organisation of the LTTE movement at Camp No 55 in Kilinochchi. The officer complained that the TRO had transferred the funds from its accounts in the illegal bank called “Social Thrift Bank” in Vavuniya to some other accounts in a suspicious manner. He said the funds had been distributed to various other accounts by the illegal bank in Vavuniya. The Social Thrift bank was not a registered bank with the Monetary Board, he said. He said the manager Eliyathambi Premakumaran of the Kokkadicholai branch was identified as the brother of LTTE Batticaloa leader Kawshalyan. The officer alleged the bank had funded other LTTE schemes too. They have collected funds from foreign funding and Premakuaran had

Women being unsafe on Delhi’s roads in public transport, especially buses and taxis, has been a frequently expressed concern of late. Now, a Delhi-based NGO is bringing together women, to be trained as taxi drivers, ready to take on the security threat too.
24-year old Rita is one such women, who is in the initial stages of training to become a taxi driver, on Delhi’s roads. When she had told her parents of the idea, a month ago, they were taken aback. But she convinced them of the financial positives, and her determination to stand up to all stereotyping.
“Tell me any work that men can do and women can’t? Initially my parents were nervous, they said you won’t be able to do it, you are a girl. Girls have become pilots and airhostesses but they have not ventured into driving taxis. I think this could be a good beginning,” said Rita, taxi driver.
Also, on the same NGO programme is Chandni. For her, the programme is about being able to earn a living for herself and the family, setting aside security fears and societal barriers.
“I am not worried because we know how to take care of ourselves,” said Chandni. investment. Mukherjee also

An inequitable case of events was reported from the Colombo Magistrates Courts where an innocent rape victim had been punished and imprisoned on false charges, following the failure of the law enforcing authorities to grill the real offender who is still on the loose.
Hulftsdorp Court Room 08 Magistrate last week ordered the Police Women’s and Chil- dren’s Bureau to take over investigations of a case involving an 18-year-old girl who had been in remand custody for three weeks on charges of blackmailing her boss.
Rape victim
Only after weeks, the remanded girl could express her horrific experiences before open courts where she said she had not black- mailed her company boss but instead was being raped by him and was threatened to keep it as a secret.
Police Women’s and Children’s Bureau In- spector Buddhika Balachandra told the Daily Mirror that the girl who was just after school had joined a private firm in Borella several months ago.
There she was subjected to an indecent pro- posal by her employer who had taken her to
a hotel in the Kollupitiya area and allegedly sexually abused in August. The employer had also allegedly video recorded the obscene activity.
Meanwhile the boyfriend of the victim had learnt about the incident and confronted the employer threatening to report the incident to the police. There the employer had promised a sum of Rs.300, 000 to keep mum and asked the girl to come and collect the money on a specified day.
When the girl went to collect the money he had complained to the police that the girl was trying to blackmail him by exposing a video tape of their intimate encounter.
The Colombo Crime Division arrested the girl on charges of blackmailing her employer and was produced before courts towards late October and was later remanded. She was brought for the second hearing when she had divulged the entire story.
The bureau immediately started an inquiry following the Magistrate’s orders and learnt that the employer had gone underground shutting down his office. The bureau is to seek a warrant to prevent the suspect from fleeing the country, CI Balachandra said.
The girl was granted bail. ►DM

Tamil film Kanchivaram makes it to IFFI ’08
K P Sai Kiran
Two Indian films, Priyadarshan’s Tamil film ‘Kanchivaram’ and Ramesh Laxman More’s Marathi film ‘Mahasatta’, have been selected for the competition section of the 39th International Film Festival in Goa. The opening ceremony of the festival — to be held between November 22 and December 2 will be inaugurated by actor Rekha, while actor Kamal Hassan will be the chief guest for the closing ceremony. The focus will be on Iran, Russia and Switzerland. “The opening film of the festival has not yet been finalised due to tight competition between the two short-listed films — Hong Kong director Peter Chan’s Warlords and Eric Khoo’s My Magic from Singapore,” said S M Khan, festival director. Peter Chan heads the jury, which comprises Venice Film Festival director Marco Mueller, Iranian actor Niki Karimi, Filipino director Lav Diaz and Indian actor Tabu. Iranian film Song of Sparrows will be screened as the closing film. In Indian Panorama section, 26 feature films and 21 non-feature films will be screened. Special retrospectives on film moguls Bimal Roy and L V Prasad will be held to mark their birth centenary year. A retrospective on 75 years of Kannada cinema will be presented.
No mummy roles for me: Raveena exits Rajneeti -
Prakash Jha’s “Rajneeti” was to be Raveena Tandon’s dream comeback but the actress quit the project once she learnt that she would have to play Ajay Devgan’s mother.
“You can’t blame me for saying no to playing mother to an actor with whom I co-starred in so many films. But I had a bigger reason for my refusal. The film required me to leave Mumbai for two months at a stretch. Both my children are too young to be left behind for such a long time, especially since they don’t even go to school yet,” Raveena told IANS.
Raveena was expected to play the role of an all- powerful politician in director Prakash Jha’s “Rajneeti”, inspired by late prime minister Indira Gandhi’s life and times. Raveena was to play Ranbir Kapoor’s mother. And Ranbir’s role resonated the life of Rajiv Gandhi.
Raveena, who had earlier played a politician in “Satta”, had several meetings with Jha and both of them were excited about it.
Raveena had to age from 20 to 60. Her makeup, saris and styling were all finalised. Until she realised the role required her to play not just Ranbir’s mom but also Ajay’s mother.

That’s when the National Award winning actress decided to back out, thereby halting her spectacular comeback plans.
“Prakash Jha offered me the role in ‘Rajneeti’. And what a role! I’ve the highest regards for Prakash. And when I met him for this part, I realised he’s even bigger a visionary than I thought.
“He’s meant to not just make films but be a national leader. He’s absolutely the right person to direct a subject like ‘Rajneeti’. I’d have given anything to return to cinema with this project, specially since he insisted I was his first and best choice,” the actress said. Not easy to be a special child: Hrithik Roshan
It was a hugely emotional experience for Hrithik Roshan when he inaugurated the Audio and Speech therapy wing at the Nanavati Hospital and donated Rs.2 million for the treatment of special children. The actor met his old doctor, Ramesh Ojha, who treated him for his speech impairment.
“All the memory of my past difficulties came spilling out at Nanavati. When I met my doctor who treated me at age 14 for stammering I could barely control my emotions. It’s not easy to be a special child,”

Prabhakaran’s destiny after 54 ?
Some months ago , a popular astrologer Theventhra Rajh of the State of Karnataka made a prophecy .He predicted that there is a possibility that Prabhakaran can die between 8th and 15th of November. He added that this period is extremely lethal to Prabhakaran and his death will be due to ill health. No sooner this prophecy was made than a number of TNA members of Parliament who were in India at that time met Prabhakaran and came back wailing over this news, according to Indian media reports. These reports went on to say that some even went to kovils and conducted poojas to invoke blessings on Prabhakaran to save his life. The astrological predictions did not however materialize. Prabhakaran is today, 26th of November 2008 celebrat- ing his 54th Birthday. When he had completed 18 years of age , he had a close shave with death. In 1972, when he and his associates were in the process of making bombs , one of them exploded causing burn injuries to his right leg. From that point of time , he has been relentlessly stalked by death . It has been knocking at his door , every second , minute and hour. He, of course never opened the door for it.
It is India’s former Prime Minister Ra- jiv Gandhi who first issued the order to kill Prabhakaran. This order reached the hands of an Indian peace keeping Force Army officer through the former Indian High Commissioner Dixit. Fortunately for
time that he would have to contend against the largest army in the world , certainly, he would not have envisaged that he would have to confront a SL army teamed up with the most powerful forces in the world in the war . But, it is Prabhakaran himself who is the architect of this problem .
In 2001, a former SL Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar made a request to Prabhakaran during the time when the lat- ter had captured all the North East security installations and the Sri Lanka army were trapped in Jaffna. “ You showed yourself as a great warrior to the whole world. The whole world acknowledges this . Now, it is enough. It is time for you to translate the war victory into political victory by coming forth and sitting at the negotiating table ”. This was the advice proffered by Kadirga- mar to Prabhakaran.
In 2002, Prabhakaran sat at the negoti- ating table . But, in 2003 he withdrew from negotiations . This was his undoing. Whatever successes he achieved in 2001 are ebbing away from him. The sympathy he earned from within the International community until 2001 too is receding. Until 2003, the world thought that it is the extremist politics of the South as the impediment to peace in SL. After 2003, they understood it is Prabhakaran who is the biggest stumbling block to peace. The Tamil people being incited by him to protest and boycott the 2005 Presidential

hands of an Indian peace keeping Force Army officer through the former Indian High Commissioner Dixit. Fortunately for Prabhakaran this officer did not execute the order. However, it did not take much time later for Prabhakaran to take Gandhi’s life.
Similarly , a former Sri Lanka’s Defence Minister, Ranjan Wijeratne until the time of his death unrelentingly tried to track down Prabhakaran and kill him. When Indian media personnel Anita Pratap who had interviewed Prabhakaran met Ranjan Wijeratne , the latter told her , “when you meet Prabhakaran, tell him it is the last time he will be seeing you. Before you get there next time , I will make sure he is a dead man”. In her book entitled ‘ Island of blood’ , Anita Pratap says, ‘ The Tigers got
him first ’.The former Deputy Minister of Defence , Gen Anurudhha Ratwatte in the Jayasikuru (Victory assured) operations hoped to meet Prabhakaran and shake hands with him after opening the A 9 Road stretching from Vavuniya to Jaffna. He told this to the Foreign media when he summoned them to his residence. He could neither open the Road nor shake hands with Prabhakaran. He was implicated in the Udatalawina multiple murder of ten per- sons and had to be on remand for a period. Later, his party also rejected his nomination for elections.
In similar fashion, on the birthday of Prabhakaran on 26th November 2007 , the present Defence Secretary, Gotabaya Rajapaksa declared that he will not leave room for Prabhakaran to celebrate his birth- day in 2008 , as he is going to destroy him before this day. But, Prabhakaran is still alive and celebrating his birthday today.
Today , Prabhakaran is celebrating his birthday when America, India, China ,Pakistan, Iran and Russia are aligned with Sri Lanka (SL), and a war is being waged against him.
Since 1983 he is fighting a war against the SL army. In 1987 , he fought against the Indian Army, one of the largest in the World. Today, he has been made to wage war against the world’s biggest powers. Yet, when Prabhakaran was met recently by a TNA M. P.who went to Wanni , he talked to the M.P. with calm and composure. The TNA M.P. disclosed this to the diplomatic community in Colombo.
In 1987 , when Prabhakaran was sum- moned to induce him to agree to the Indo -SL peace accord and he was in a Hotel in India , his aides who were with him became very restless and fretful . They became apprehensive and griped that if Prabhakaran rejects the request he would be imprisoned in India. When Balasingham too was panic stricken and inquired about their next move , Prabhakaran was unruf- fled , he just said, ‘ let us first eat some- thing’.
Though he would have perceived at that
is the biggest stumbling block to peace. The Tamil people being incited by him to protest and boycott the 2005 Presidential elections further corroborates this. Today, he has to fight a war against the world’s super powers owing to this blunder he committed.
At any rate, Prabhakaran is not a person who admits his faults. Even Balasingham has confessed that Rajiv Gandhi’s assassi- nation was a grave tactical error committed by Prabhakaran. But, today the loud agita- tions launched by Tamil Nadu in Prabhaka- ran’s favour drowns his error . The opinion poll conducted by the popular Kumudam Reporter magazine among the University students of Tamil Nadu declared that 50 % of them described Parbhakaran as a hero. Not only Tamil Nadu , the entire Tamil population the world over are sympathizing with Prabhakaran’s struggle.
If, at this moment Prabhakaran is assassi- nated in Wanni, not only Tamil Nadu ,even the entire Tamil population of the whole world will point an accusing finger at New Delhi .There is an anti Delhi sentiment growing among the Tamil youths across the whole world including Tamil Nadu. If Prabhakaran is killed , this sentiment can turn explosive and a ‘catastrophic storm’ is more likely to result rather than it dying down. Though in SL , the Tamil libera- tion struggle may get controlled , in Tamil Nadu it will rage on like an uncontrollable wild fire.
In that event, the dead Prabhakaran can prove more lethal to New Delhi than the living Prabhakaran
