Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has alerted the Government of India about a plan to revive Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a banned organisation, in Tamil Nadu.
In a letter addressed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Swamy has said that the AIADMK Government in Tamil Nadu was “unwittingly” assisting in the revival of the LTTE and was giving money for the purpose.
“On July 4, under the auspices of a pro-LTTE organisation FETA (Federation of Tamil Samgams in North America) the 2019 convention is being held in the town of Schaumburg in Europe and is going to be addressed by the former IN High Commissioner for Refugees Navi Pillai, a Sri Lankan Tamil and Thami Nesan, a pro LTTE Catholic Bishop. But it is surprising that the Tamil Nadu Government is donating Rs 3 crore and has sent a 20-member delegation under the leadership of Ma Foi Pandiarajan, Tamil Nadu Minister,” Swamy has stated in the letter.
Swamy has also suggested to the union home minister that any attempt to revive the LTTE in Europe should be nipped in the bud. He concludes the letter by asking the Home Minister to hold enquiries with the Tamil Nadu Government about sending the delegation to the convention and also about the donation being made by the State.
