India's Union Minister of State for Planning and Parliamentary Affairs V. Narayanasamy demanded action against the organisations that supported the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
Replying to queries on reports relating to certain political parties and organisations extending support to the LTTE "under the guise of opposing genocide of Tamils in the island," he told reporters here that the State governments including Tamil Nadu, should take action against those individuals and organisations for backing the banned outfit. He also flayed the general secretary of the MDMK , Vaiko, for "openly expressing views in favour of the LTTE."
Though Mr.Vaiko's demand that the Centre should take steps to protect the island Tamils was acceptable, action should be taken against him for extending support to the LTTE, Mr. Narayanasamy said in Puducherry. There had been similarity of views among the Congress, the DMK and the PMK on the Sri Lankan Tamils' issue.
