Indian police have arrested the Tamil nationalist leader Pazha Nedumaran again for his demonstration in support of the Tigers and against the Sri Lankan and Indian Governments.
The Indian Police arrested Nedumaran and at least 164 members of his outfit last Saturday (22nd) for staging a demonstration. It is reported that Nedumaran and members of his Tamil Desiya Iyakkam (Tamil Nationalist Movement) including a dozen women, had raised slogans in favor of the banned LTTE.
Police said several “pro-LTTE groups”, including Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK-Dalit Panther) supporters, tried to stage a demonstration at the Memorial Hall near the railway station without permission.
The groups were also protesting the sale of arms by India to Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile, Minister of Highways, Jeyaraj Fernandopulle, who is currently in India maintained that the frequent attacks on Indian fishermen were carried out by the LTTE and not by the Sri Lankan Navy.
