Now vows to help LTTE regain east

Former TMVP Chief Karuna Amman has vowed to take revenge on his successor and Eastern Province Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillaiyan, after the sudden conversion of Pillaiyan from being a Karuna loyalist to become subservient to the UPFA.

Much angered by the unexpected change of Pillaiyan, Karuna, who had been detained by the British law enforcement authority in the United Kingdom over violation of the country's emigration regulations, has according to informed sources pledged to help the Wanni Tigers regain the east soon.

Top sources from the east, on the condition of anonymity told The Bottom Line that Karuna had vowed to help the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), gain control of the east soon.

The LTTE yesterday ruled out the possibility of any reconciliation with Karuna Amman and termed such reports as mere rumours.

The TMVP also ruled out that Karuna would rejoin the LTTE and said that his return to the country to rejoin the outfit was being awaited.

We are confident that Karuna will not join the LTTE as he has rejected the Tigers policies and leadership. If anyone thinks that a Karuna-LTTE alliance is in the making, then I have to tell them that it would be the biggest joke of the year, TMVP spokesperson Azad Maulana told the Daily Mirror.

The LTTE also maintained that the rumours were a mere joke and claimed that the Tigers would never accept Karuna back into the organisation.

Speaking about Karuna is a waste of time. We will never take him back. There are other more important issues which could be discussed other than such baseless reports, LTTE military spokesperson, Rasiah Illantheriyan said. He added that the LTTE did not need an alliance to regain the east and warned the LTTE would recapture the area soon.

The government forces are on the verge of defeating the Tamil Tigers, the former deputy commander of the LTTE said.

In an exclusive interview with BBC Sandeshaya, Vinayamurthi Muralitharan known as Karuna Amman said the Tamil Tigers are very weak in the face of continuous military offensive.

Karuna Amman was deported from the UK, where he served a prison sentence for immigration offences, to Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

It was his first media interview since arriving in Colombo on Thursday.

He appealed to all communities, Sinhala, Muslim and Tamil, to help the government to defeat the LTTE which he described as a 'brutal terrorist group'.

..Informed sources told this site that Karuna's return has come at a time when LTTE's current 'Special Commander' to the East, Keerthi and his band of Jeyanthan Brigade cadres are planning to create havoc in the Eastern Province.

The Karuna group, which broke into two groups, became one after Karuna's arrest and detention. After Pillayan became Chief Minister, it became virtually impossible for TMVP cadres to engage in open combat with the growing LTTE units in the East. It is believed that Karuna's return might remedy this situation as the 'Karuna' group starts operating under the former 'Colonel' while the political arm of the TMVP functions under Pillayan.

I will be 52 on the 2nd of Sept..don't forget to wish

The government forces are on the verge of defeating the Tamil Tigers, the former deputy commander of the LTTE has said.

In an exclusive interview with BBC Sandeshaya, Vinayamurthi Muralitharan known as Karuna Amman said the Tamil Tigers are very weak in the face of continuous military offensive.

Karuna Amman was deported from the UK, where he served a prison sentence for immigration offences, to Sri Lanka two days ago.

It was his first media interview since arriving in Colombo yesterday (July 03rd).

He appealed to all communities, Sinhala, Muslim and Tamil, to help the government to defeat the LTTE which he described as a brutal terrorist group.

But like most people, I do believe that the biggest problem for lasting peace in SL is the LTTE.

I will do in deed
