(February 16, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Well known Political party in Tamil Nadu , the AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa had supported the LTTE only before the death of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, party treasurer O Pannerselvam has said.
In a statement in Chennai on Friday, the AIADMK leader said the interview of DMK orator Vetrikondan to a Tamil magazine was aimed at bringing disgrace to Jayalalithaa.
Stating that the whole of India including former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and AIADMK founder M G Ramachandran had once empathised with the LTTE and its chief Prabhakaran, Pannerselvam said the terrorist outfit had lost the support post- Rajiv’s death.
He further stressed that it was Jayalalithaa who was continuously opposing the LTTE and was instrumental in banning it after the gruesome assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.
‘It has always been the stand of Jayalalithaa and the AIADMK to oppose LTTE and thus she cannot be accused of double standards,’ he added.
