The notification’s mention of LTTE’s goal of creating a ``Tamil homeland’’ is interesting.
``And, Whereas, the LTTE’s objective for a separate homeland (Tamil Eelam) for all Tamils threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India, and amounts to cession and secession of a part of the territory of India from the Union,’’ the gazette notification said.
So, it means that the LTTE’s larger goal – at least according to the Indian government which once trained and nurtured the LTTE – was to carve out a separate country for Tamils comprising members of the community from across the shallow waters of the Palk Strait.
Intriguingly, it added that while the LTTE remnants look upon the Sri Lankan government as ``enemies’’ they look upon the Indian government as ``traitors’’ – or those who were once trusted but have betrayed that trust.
It went on to mention the Tamil diaspora. ``…through articles in the internet
portals, the diaspora continue to spread anti-India feeling amongst the Sri
Lankan Tamils by holding the top Indian political leaders and bureaucrats
responsible for the defeat of the LTTE. Such propaganda through internet… are
likely to impact VVIP security adversely in
``Eezham Tamil circles in the diaspora said the notification reflected the guilt related paranoia of New Delhi and Chennai and urged democratic bodies in the diaspora and legal activists in Tamil Nadu to address the false interpretation, politically and legally,’’ the TamilNet website said.
