LTTE poses threat to Indian VVIPs- Hindustan Times
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) might be militarily decimated in Sri Lanka but big neighbour India is not taking any chance. It recently extended the ban against LTTE as an unlawful association capable even now of jeopardising VVIP security and compromising Indias territorial integrity.
The notifications mention of LTTEs goal of creating a Tamil homeland is interesting.
And, Whereas, the LTTEs 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 LTTEs 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 India, it said.
A political scientist in Colombo said Indias very specific fears were not surprising and the extension of the ban was expected.
