Pillayan to lead TMVP?
Monday, 1 October 2007 - 6:01 AM SL Time

Former `commander` of the Thamil Makal Viduthalai Pullikal (TMVP) Pillayan is set to lead the armed outfit and is already setting up his own multi-storied headquarters down Lake Road in the Batticaloa town, TMVP sources told the Daily Mirror.

The new developments come in the wake of Karuna Amman fleeing to Britain in the midst of the deepening internal rift between Pillayan and Karuna owing to alleged financial mismanagement and tit-for-tat killings.

However, when contacted TMVP spokesman Azad Maulana said the outfit was merely undergoing restructuring and that Karuna Amman still heads the TMVP. He however admitted a new office was being set up down Lake Road for Pillayan`s political work. TMVP sources, however, claimed that the current TMVP headquarters in Batticaloa would be shut down while Pillayan makes his presence felt with new offices in Batticaloa and Ampara. Most of his cadres operating from Trincomalee have moved to Batticaloa forcing close allies of Karuna to flee towards Thoppigala. TMVP sources further said that at a high level party meeting at Welikanda on Friday it was decided to demand an explanation on the accounts from Karuna`s fund raisers. `We found that 70% of the funds have been going to Karuna while only 30% was reaching the TMVP. So we will wait for the explanation this week before deciding on the next step,` the source said.

Meanwhile, it is unlikely that Karuna would return to the country. There is strong speculation that the latest TMVP split has the backing of certain state elements in an attempt to divert negative international attention created by allegations of abductions, killings and child recruitment by the Karuna outfit. When asked by the Daily Mirror, TMVP sources said the allegations were true but claimed Pillayan was intent on disarming his cadres, releasing all child soldiers and purely focusing on political work.

...The fate of Premini was terrible. The dusky woman with attractive features and a slight squint was taken to another camp and raped first by Sinthujan himself. Threafter it was a horrible gang rape with TMVP cadres taking turns to sexually assault her. Fourteen cadres raped the poor girl. Some troubled TMVP cadres did not participate in the rape but were powerless to stop it.

Premini was heard to shout and cry at the start. Later she merely sobbed and whimpered. Premini was taken out before dawn by TMVP cadres to the jungles. She walked like a ?nadaipinam? (walking corpse) without crying or showing signs of emotion said one ex - TMVP cadre. She was apparently hacked to death and thrown into the bushes.

I have also heard of one decent Sinhala military intelligence official who tried to probe this incident and the massacre of 12 Sinhala workers at Omadhiyamadhu being killed by Karuna cadrs themselves. It may be recalled that the Omadhiyamadhu killings were blamed on the LTTE. According to this ,yet to be confirmed version, the TMVP was responsible for that incident too. The MI official was lured into a trap by Pillaiyan and killed by TMVP cadres. The blame as usual was put on the LTTE.

He's opened a Kotthu-Rotti shop in UK. I like to hear from Karuna supporters? So now Pilliyan is your chief minister for the next two years until he can accumulate enough funds.

Immature young boys cannot achieve anything. They are after money and girls. Now there is no salvation for the Tamils and only God can save them.
