Rump LTTE leaders attempt to regroup in Tamil Nadu

Rump LTTE leaders and cadres are trying to regroup and revive the terror group in Tamil Nadu and other parts of India, Indian Union Home Ministry’s Director of Internal Security R.K. Suman disclosed on Friday.

“The LTTE, even after its military defeat, has not abandoned its goal of achieving ‘Tamil Eelam.’

The remnants of the organisation have been clandestinely working by reviving activities locally and internationally and continue to propagate its agenda through various means,” Suman told a Court in Chennai on Friday.

Citing reports that the banned outfit was likely to revive with the assistance of Maoist organisations, the affidavit stated that the banned Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) remains a threat to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of India, the Hindu said.

“The Central Government has information which indicates that the LTTE continues to be a threat to the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. The LTTE continues to look at Tamil Nadu as a platform for its anti-India activities,” Raman said in an affidavit filed before the Tribunal, headed by Justice V.K. Jain deciding on the validity of the ban on the LTTE.

“Though the LTTE has been decimated, there are reports to indicate that the remnant LTTE cadres/leaders are trying to regroup and revive the organisation.

The organisation is capable of garnering local support in Tamil Nadu and several others parts in South India on account of linguistic, cultural and ethnic affinity,” the affidavit said.

The central Government of India extended the LTTE ban in July 2012 citing that it was necessary to declare the group as an ‘unlawful association’ since it continues to adopt a strong anti-India posture and poses a grave threat to the security of its citizens.
