KARUNANIDHI IS ATTEMPTING TO GIVE A SECOND LEASE OF POLITICAL LIFE TO PRABHAKARAN BY THREATENING NEW DELHI

By Walter Jayawardhana

In a political step that virtually means another lease of political life for the main suspects of the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi-namely Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and his intelligence chief Pottu Amman, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Muthuvel Karunanidhi announced that all Members of Tamil Nadu should resign if New Delhi would not impose a ceasefire in the military conflict in Sri Lanka within two weeks. .

If New Delhi would impose such a ceasefire on Colombo as a regional super power the Gandhi assassins would get another lease of political life to carry on with their Fascist government on few hundred thousand Tamils in Kilinochchi and Mulaithivu districts of Nothern Sri Lanka.

The two main LTTE leaders have become virtual prisoners now , trapped in their bunkers and surrounded by the Sri Lankan security forces.

If all Tamil Members of Parliament resign in Tamil Nadu in India , as the Chief Minister , announced ,the Hindu newspaper said 39 members from the Lok Sabha (Lower House) and Rajya Sabha (Upper House ) would resign making the current government of Dr. Manmohan Singh's government a minority administration, exposed to attacks by political enemies leading to a defeat in a confidence vote.

But the thirty nine also include Tamil Nadu minority parties, including the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee, the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) it is not certain how much this ultimatum would be forceful on the Manmohan government.

During a meeting presided over by Chief Minister karunanidhi of different political parties extremist organizations like Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and Viduthalai Chiruthalgal Katchi , allegedly run with secret funds from the LTTE , argued that an ultimatum not more than few days should be given to the New Delhi government to impose a ceasefire on Colombo.

But at the end of the meeting two weeks ultimatum was accepted.

If this move succeeds this is the second time Tamil Nadu politicians are going to bail out the LTTE leader who has successfully introduced two generations of politics based on suicide terrorism in South Asia. Suicide terrorism in its present form was also introduced to the Middle East by them

The main opposition of the Tamil Nadu, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) led by Jayalalitha did not participate in the Karunanidhi meeting
