In what seems to be a comedy of sorts the so called ‘headquarters’ of the now militarily defunct LTTE releasing a statement has lauded the World Tamil Classical conference at Coimbatore however criticizing Tamil Nadu for not protecting the LTTE from defeat.
Adding further humour Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M
Karunanidhi on Sunday welcomed outlawed LTTE’s lauding of the World Tamil Classical
conference at
In a statement here, Karunanidhi said he did not have differences over LTTE’s
remarks that the conference would deliberate on steps for speedier development
of the language and help unify Tamils.
“But their remarks that Tamils in this state have not taken any steps to
protect them will only trigger a needless controversy,” he said.
The LTTE should ponder over who had termed them as those fit to be annihilated
when all of Tamil Nadu was up in arms against ‘atrocities’ on Sri Lankan
Tamils, he said in an obvious reference to AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa’s remarks
that LTTE volunteers were not innocent Tamils.
He said he drew solace from the fact that LTTE had welcomed the conference, “unlike
some in Tamil Nadu, who are issuing statements against the conference”.
