OPEN LETTER TO DR KALAINGNAR
Just When I was thinking that Dr.Kalaingnar Karunanidhi, DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has arrived on the national scene as a leader of consequence he loses his balance and utters his usual flamboyant statements on Lankan tamils issue. The Tamil Nadu CM who once was suspected to have passed on secret informations shared with him by the then Prime Minister chandrasekar to LTTE top brass and there by lost his office invoking Article 356 even without his admirer Governor Barnala refusing to recommend his dismissal was this time more mature, sober and intelligent when he stayed away from the rhetorics of MDMK, PMK variety who called for Indian Governments intervention to bring about a ceasefire and accused ourGovernment of abetting what they call a mass genocide of innocent tamil civilians. Karunanidhi's foster son was late Siri Sabarathinam who was murdered by LTTE. Infact when MGR was in power, Karunanidhi formed his team for helping Sri Lankan tamils, and paid a bonanza of 400 lacs to their cause dividing the booty in to 4 equal shares to be given to Sabarathinam's TELO, Prabakaran's LTTE, EPRLF and PLOTE. Prabakaran who was perceived to be MGR's foster Son scorned this gift of Karunanidhi. In fact Karunanidhi expelled Vaiko on charges that he conspired with LTTE leadership to eliminate him. This time around theTamil NaduCM was appreciative of our government's limitations in playing interlocutor in the ongoing ethnic conflict. LTTE has always accused Indian government of playing in to hands of Sinhala Chauvinism. LTTE and Premadas saw the back of our IPKF jointly. Karunanidhi while appreciating the need to alleviate the sufferings of innocent Tamils, was careful not to eugolise LTTE and its chief. But his political rivals were taunting him again and again. Jayalalitha , who passed a resolution in Assembly to catch Prabakaran alive to face trial in Rajiv Assacination case today claims to be the saviour of Tamils in Sri Lanka. She even goes to the extent of suggesting that not a autonomous State under a Federal unitary constitution of Sri Lanka for tamils but a Tamil Home land which will solve the issue permanently. This has infuriated the Tamil NaduCM who now claims that Prabakaran is not a terrorist. Tell me Dr Kalaingnar one who has ordered killing of many of his political rivals , one who orderd killing of our former PM in our soil can not be terrorist. Dr.Kalaignar this is the moment of truth for you and your party. If you utter this nonsense, your good relations with Sonia will vanish in to thin air. The serious charges of corruption against your family members may be required in to seriously looked into.Make a choice now whether you want to be remembered by posterity as a man who opposed terrorism in any form or as a mere joker in the company of Vaiko and Dr Ramdas?
