DMK chief M Karunanidhi had condemned Vaiko's arrest at that time.

This is the second time that Vaiko has been arrested for supporting the banned group, the earlier occasion being during the previous AIADMK government when he was held under POTA.

Vaiko was arrested under the Unlawful Prevention Activities Act, police said.

He was remanded to 14 days judicial custody.

Vaiko said soon after his arrest that his party was for India's sovereignty. At the same time, it could not allow the Centre to provide arms and ammunition and logistics support to Sri Lankan government 'to perpetuate war against Tamils’.

Arrest of VAIKOBy: Rajendran Muthu | 31-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward The arrest of Mr. Vaiko is a political issue not law and order. The government is partial in dealing issues like this. If supporting Tamils is crime, it is unforunate and the congress will feel sorry for this after the coming parliamentary election. Tamil Nadu congress play double standard in the issue of Tamils in Tamil Nadu and Srilanka.

all banded orgs supporters to be jailed for mininum 10 yrsBy: Prasanna V | 26-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Why Ms Jayalalitha still has allainance with MDMK. She says that she doesnt support LTTE and MDMK openly accepted that they support the banded organization. These are political games. These peoples dont worry about our peoples in our state rather than they try to prove that they are helping tamil peoples in Srilanka. Why they bother about other countries peoples is it they speak the same language that we speak. We have to remember that we are Indians and then quote your state. They took away our great PM Hounarable PM Rajiv. We should not forgot that. Any one who support them should be jailed with no mercy. Even I think Congress forgive everything about what happened in 1991. We lost a great leader that too in our state. For that atleast shut our mouth and keep quite for not saving our great leader.

JavaBy: Javanathan | 25-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward One articles indicated that Srilankan Legislature denied Tamils of jobs. How come a a Former LTTE cdre who laid down arms and contested an election become the Chief Minister of The Eastern Province. The second in command of Prabhakaran became a member of Parliament. Former leader of armed movement Douglus Devananda a Minister in the Parliament. The leader of Tamil National Alliance is now a Minister in the parliament.Two members of Tamil Congress(Indian Tamil workers Union) are now mInisters. How come Tamils have no jobs.Can't these ministers employ their supportes. All those alegations are nonesense. People who write these articles knoe that these fabricated stories.

ARREST RAMADAS ALSOBy: Iraydasan | 25-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Dr. Ramadas is one of the fire brand politicians of Tamil Nad. His son is Dr. Anbumani Ramadas is the honourable Union Minister of Health.In an interview given in Delhi on 21st October 2008, Dr. Ramadas has said that (1) LTTE is not a terrorist organisation, but it is a liberation movement. An alliance leader openly challenges the stand of the nation and supports the killers of India’s Prime Minister. Dr.Ramadas also said in the same interview that (2) No one could stop the establishment of a separate Tamil nation called Tamil Elam. This stand is also against the wishes of the majority Indians and the policies of the UPA. The Indian Govt stand is that they will not allow Sri Lanka to be partitioned, though the demand of the Tamils can be accommodated by giving full autonomy to Tamil majority areas.It is difficult to understand why the Prime Minster and the Indian Govt. tolerates this non-sense from a tiny little political party which hates others on caste basis

LTTE, the curse of Sri Lankan tamilsBy: Joseph | 25-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward What has LTTE given to tamils over last 25yrs. Only piles of misery. Kidnapped and sacrificed more than 10,000 kids from arms of screeming parents, only 10% of tamil kids sit for exams, allows tamils to open mouth only to eat, despite billions collected not a grain of rice or a panadol for tamils, EVEN STOLEN TSUNAMI money from tamils who lost every thing, taken away all known human rights from tamils and reduced them to puppets at gun point, 50,000 tamils have fled to the south unable to bear barbarism, killed many thousands of tamils to include political opponents/interllectuals/ priests/ teaches etc for opposing the stupidity of a grade 8 drop out manic depressive 'leader'. No wonder when Richard Boucher, US undersecretary said that 'LTTE has brought only misery to tamils' How true it is!
