Tamil Nadu politicians on the pay roll of the LTTE


Chennai, 31 August, (Asiantribune.com): Investigations now reveal that a number of politicians in Tamil Nadu are on the regular pay roll of the Tamil Tigers – a banned terrorist organization in India.

Payments to these S. Indian political leaders by the LTTE are made either in huge lump sums whenever they organize public meetings and protest rallies or as monthly salaries.
Pala Nedumaran is on the top of the list of those receiving payments.

He has been a vociferous backer of the Tamil Tigers. His links to the Tigers go as far back as 1982. Some Tamils view him as a hired mourner at funerals. It is a custom among Tamils to hire mourners for their funerals. Lamenting for payments is known in Tamil as Koolikku Maaradiththal.

To our dismay, this is nothing new… We have seen it in the past, and recently they were trying to bribe FBI officials and US State government officials to take them off the Terrorist list…. It is a common practice for the LTTE. You never know they might have the out-going head of SLMM on their payroll or may be he is with one of Prabakarans suicide bombers or like Mr. Erik Solheim who is apparently with one of prabakarans ex girlfriends.

Guess some people have to make an indecent living at the cost of innocent Civilians, However the day they go against the LTTE….

Would it still be “Sleeping with the Enemy” or would it be “6 feet deep”…?

Guess the track record says it all…..
