Former Union Minister S R Balasubramaniam told a press conference here that Tamilselvan was provided security by Prabakaran on par with the LTTE chief himself."The slain leader's movements were kept secret. Under such a circumstance, how could Sri Lankan military know about Tamilselvan's arrival at a particular spot," he asked.
"Tamilselvan's visit to the spot was deliberately leaked out, leading to his killing in the air raid," he alleged.
He said the Congress never endorsed any support to the LTTE in Tamil Nadu and would vehemently oppose any backing to the banned terrorist organisation.
He regretted that the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi penned a poem condoling the death of Tamilselvan. The poem ended up creating a major controversy as AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa demanded dismissal of the DMK government for eulogising the leader of a banned outfit.
Referring to recent directive issued by the state police chief warning action against those supporting banned outfits, Balasubramaniam said he welcomed the police action against the pro-LTTE elements in Tamil Nadu.
