LTTE not a terrorist organisation
DR. S. Ramadoss CHENNAI: The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is not a terrorist organisation. It is working for the rights of Sri Lankan Tamils, Pattali Makkal Katchi founder S. Ramadoss said on Sunday.
Asserting that the LTTE chief Prabakaran should not be considered a terrorist, Dr. Ramadoss told a press conference here that Prabakaran could not be caught. He would carry on his struggle for 20 more years, the PMK leader said, referring to the age of Prabakaran.
Equating the LTTE chief with leaders such as Yasser Arafat and Nelson Mandela, the PMK leader said just as Arafat and Mr. Mandela fought for the liberation of their people, Prabakaran was striving hard for the Tamils.
Welcoming the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Jayalalithaa’s support for the cause of Tamil Eelam, Dr. Ramadoss said the PMK, the Communist Party of India and the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, constituents of the AIADMK-led front, had taken a common stand on the issue.
He called upon Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M. Karunanidhi to spell out his stand. Was Mr. Karunanidhi going to extend support to the formation of Tamil Eelam or would he regard the electoral tie-up and remaining in power more important, Dr. Ramadoss asked.
Referring to the statement issued by the United States on the issue, the PMK leader described it as a positive change and said this would turn the focus of the world to Sri Lanka. He reiterated that India had every right and duty to intervene in the matter.
To a question on MDMK leader Vaiko’s suggestion of projecting Ms. Jayalailthaa for the post of Prime Minister in the event of Third Front forming the government, Dr. Ramadoss endorsed it and said his party would certainly support the candidature of Ms. Jayalalithaa who, he said, had all the qualifications to hold the post.

Tamils IDPs held hostage by Sri Lanka military
The exodus of Tamils from the so called “safe zone” is similar to that what was seen in Rwanda about 15 years ago, when Tutsis faced genocide in the hands of Hutus.
Sinhala soldiers are on a genocidal spree. They have murdered about 1000 Tamil civilians and injured about 2500 by breaching into the “safe zone”.
In Sri Lanka(SL), a Tamil is always held as a hostage by the Sinhala state. IDP’s are held as hostages in military concentration camps. Others face hostage taking, mostly daily, by the Sinhala soldiers in military check points.
[Tamil civilians who fled from Tamil Tiger-controlled areas gather to take food distributed at a government-controlled camp in Omantai, Vavuniya, about 230 kilometers (144 miles) north of Colombo, Sri Lanka, Wednesday, April 22, 2009.-AP pic]But, Mahinda Rajapakse explained the mass exodus of Tamil civilians from the unsafe “safe zone”, because of military firing, as “the largest ever hostage rescue mission in history”. Tamil civilian killing is being covered up and Sinhala ego is being boosted by that unreal utterance.
Adolf Hitler also similarly engaged in similar utterances during genocide of Jews. The purpose is definitely to blame others, hoodwink the International community and carry on with the genocide. SL appears to be succeeding in its trickery.
The truth of what happened in the “safe zone” could be discovered easily from spy satelite photos in the area as done in Bosnia.
The UN should start to bring Rajapakse and other war criminals to the war crimes court in the Hague for the UN to justify its existence.
Rwanda is past. Sri Lanka is present. But the UN and the International Community are doing nothing whatsoever to rectify even happenings in the present.
Surely, Tamil Eelam is inevitable.

Sri Lanka's crimes against humanity
WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka has caused "untold suffering" as it fights Tamil Tiger rebels in what is believed to be the endgame of Asia's longest-running war, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday."I think that the Sri Lankan government knows that the entire world is very disappointed that in its efforts to end what it sees as 25 years of conflict, it is causing such untold suffering," Clinton told lawmakers, referring to the thousands of civilians trapped in the war zone.
