Pro Terrorist Anti Indian Stand of VaikoBy: Sunil Maingi | Friday , 24 Oct '08 8:52:20 AM Reply | Forward What is the difference between Vaiko and the Kashmiri separatists? Kashmiri separatists on both side of the border are alleging atrocities by government forces, and calling the terrorists freedom fighters. Vaiko is also saying that a separate Tamil state will be established in Sri Lanka under LTTE chief Prabhakaran. The same Prabhakaran, who has waged war against India, is head of LTTE, terrorist organization banned by India and is responsible for the murder of our former Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi. Vaiko is championing the cause of terrorists and is prepared to take up arms for their cause. Mr. Vaiko has been rightly arrested and should be tried for anti national activities. Why should Sri Lanka tolerate any interference from us and why should we ask Sri Lanka to go easy on terrorists. Mr. Vaiko in the interest of some votes is championing the cause of LTTE, but we have not heard much from him, when minorities and Dalits have been targeted in his state.
Seccesion is never an idea acceptedBy: Vidhi | Friday , 24 Oct '08 22:21:23 PM Reply | Forward The problem is not a new one. There have always been petty politicians demanding India's intervention here or there, sometimes on sillier planks. If the situation is reversed, will India agree that Nagalim, Khalistan, Bodoland or Azad Kashmir demands be met just because our neighbours support them? I hope that vaiko is given his just desserts and placed under a lock who's key is thrown away.
Vaiko - Arrest - A DramaBy: NATARASU | Friday , 24 Oct '08 8:42:13 AM Reply | Forward Earlier days karunanithi make the screenplay for Cinemas. Now he makes a screen play for this Drama.Thats all
We are not Pakistan: We wont support LTTEBy: Pratik | Friday , 24 Oct '08 8:38:49 AM Reply | Forward All these people supporting LTTE are forgetting what LTTE stands for. A terrorist group is a terrorist group; period! Politicians in Tamil Nadu are using emotions to manipulate the ignorant. Alas, the readers here are not ignorant, just short sighted.If India ever supports LTTE, we wont be any different from the Pakis. I think a politicaly unstable SL will lead to insurgency in the otherwise calm southern India.
VaikoBy: pattabi | Friday , 24 Oct '08 7:42:49 AM Reply | Forward Vaiko is a good for nothing politician without a base in TN. His only contribution is his support for LTTE
VaikoBy: Moorthy | Friday , 24 Oct '08 6:18:01 AM Reply | Forward Mr. Vaiko has reason to be more concern about Tamils in sri Lanka. Sri Lankan army in the name of war against LTTE, they are attacking civilians. It is their intention to slowly destroy all ethnic Tamils from sri Lanka. In this backdrop if India really helps Sri Lankan army with intelligence, logistics support as alleged, then it is deplorable.
VaikoBy: Rajan | Friday , 24 Oct '08 5:15:20 AM Reply | Forward When Indians fought for independence British considered their actions as treasonous. This included Gandhi, Tilak, Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sarojini Naidu and many other heroes. Think about it.
Terrorists Vs. Freedom fightersBy: Rajesh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 12:48:23 PM Reply | Forward Dear Rajan,Please dont forget that British came from outside and started ruling unsuspeccting Indians. The same is not the case with Srilanka. Tamilians migrated from TamilNadu and now they are fighting for a seperate state in the country of their refuge.Also, the times are different now, its illogical to compare the present with 17th century.
Ravan was Tamil ruler of LankaBy: sbala | Friday , 24 Oct '08 23:03:20 PM Reply | Forward Mr.Rajesh, Tamilians in Srilanka did not migrate yesterday. They had been the rulers of Ilangai (renamed Srilanka by the sinhalese) as far back as the Ramayana period (Ravan was known as Ilankeshwaran, meaning Eashwar of Ilankai). Please get to know things a little before commenting. It hurts.
BarterBy: naresh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 4:38:37 AM Reply | Forward Hand over Vaiko to the Sri Lanka authorities and let them hand over Prabhakaran to us.
nareshBy: jayantha | Friday , 24 Oct '08 13:42:12 PM Reply | Forward naresh it's true.
well said !By: Rajesh | Friday , 24 Oct '08 12:49:33 PM Reply | Forward Well said Naresh..
Vaiko-Karunanidi BanditsBy: Jiffry | Friday , 24 Oct '08 2:37:48 AM Reply | Forward Do we have only lunatic trouble makers among the TN Politicians. Why are they interfiering into another Sovereign Countries issue. The whole wants to eradibate Terrorism let it be Blue White or Green and also Muslim Tamil or Christian. We do not have any sympathy here, its very simple Mathematics. When will intelligence in Political sphere take light in TN.
Lunatic hindiwallasBy: sbala | Friday , 24 Oct '08 23:09:48 PM Reply | Forward Jiffry? My God, when will people like you use your hare brains? Tamilnadu has been a land of high intellect even before your ancestors learnt how to cook and eat.
LTTEBy: subhash | Friday , 24 Oct '08 9:26:15 AM Reply | Forward I don't buy that bull of not to interfere with other countrie's issue. We are inhabitants of a global village and even issues seemingly distant will have re percussions in our life. But the involvement should be constructive, for example Norway's efforts, rather that supplying money and lending support to terrorism.
Vaiko's arrestBy: S.Karuppiah | Friday , 24 Oct '08 2:13:17 AM Reply | Forward Vaiko's arrest is highly unfair and is basically due to oppurtunitic politics of Mr.karunanidhi.If the real reason is the so called inflammatory speech,lots of speeches by the cine directors at Rameshwaram were more aggresive.They were not even touched.The so called intellectuals always try to suppress the real reason of the struggle in Srilanka viz.suppression of basic equal right to the minority by the majority Singaleese for several decades which prompted this armed struggle.some of their actions deserve to be condemned but we should not lose focus on the larger picture ie planned genocide of Tamils.Armed stuggle against it is not a terrorism but it is the struggle for the basic human rights.Also,Vaiko has only said that he will be ready to fight against the Srilankan army and against India.His honest faith in national integerity is much better than so many selfish politicians who are infact real enemies of our beloved country by looting the public money for their own family
Vaiko arrested for pro-LTTE remarks, slams ManmohanBy: mor saatham | Friday , 24 Oct '08 1:34:23 AM Reply | Forward It is not vaikO that needs to be shipped out ! its 'Hindu' N.Ram, Cho Ramasamy, Subramaniam Swamy and their ilk that need to be shown the exit. TAMILS should boycott Hindu Newspaper, thuglak weekly and their anti Tamil - Tamil Nadu businesses. This should be the start.
