LTTE funded TN MDMK party: US Embassy Cable

A US diplomat of Indian origin who had a stint at the American consulate in Chennai had in a confidential cable hinted that the LTTE could have financially supported the MDMK leader Vaiko, according to Wikileaks.

In a cable sent on May 15, 2006, two days after the DMK was voted to power, Ravi Candadai, the then acting US Consul General in India, while ruling out funding for the LTTE from Tamil Nadu, said: “It may be, however, that some financial support flows the other way, that is, from the LTTE to certain political leaders in Tamil Nadu, notably Vaiko, founder and general secretary of the MDMK.”

To support this theory, Candadai quoted Chandrahasan, a well known Sri Lankan Tamil in Chennai and the founder of Organisation for Eelam Refugees Rehabilitation (OfERR).

“Some people, including Tamil refugee NGO leader Chandrahasan, believe that the LTTE provided initial financial support for Vaiko in establishing his MDMK party after he came out of the DMK in 1993,” the diplomat observed.

Describing Vaiko as an outspoken supporter of the LTTE, he, as a matter of caution, added, “but any financial link (with the LTTE) remains unproven.”

Dealing with the issue of sympathy for the LTTE in Tamil Nadu, the cable said the support had vanished almost overnight after former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination.

Based on information provided by his contacts, the diplomat surmised that substantial financial support for the LTTE came from Tamils living in Canada, the UK, Netherlands and Germany, who contributed 10 pc of their income due to the encouragement of local religious institutions or Tamil cultural organisations. This encouragement was “closer to extortion.”

The cable also gave a clean chit to the then newly installed DMK Government on its anti-LTTE policy saying the party had a record in controlling the outfit between 1996 and 2001.

Candadai also believed that to the average person in Tamil Nadu, the then prevailing situation in Sri Lanka was not of primary interest. “It may seem strange that in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu, which literally means Tamil country, there is little support for the LTTE, an organisation that professes to be dedicated to establishing a homeland for all Tamils,” he quipped.

Whether the LTTE funded MDMK or not that may be questionable.But somebody remind these US embassy guys that they definitely funded Osama bin Laden,the Afghan mujaheddin or Saddam Hussain,and that is beyond any doubt. huh.. pot calling kettle black....

Tamilnadu "politicians" & Tamil Tiger terrorists links!
 
mdmk is a regional pro tamil and LTTE party , which has got not a lot to do with mainstream indian politics , so don't use the word "indian party "
 
Vaiko is a retard.. these days he is busy flaming tention between Kerala and Tamilnadu over a dam issue and waters. He even tried to block the supply of essential goods to state.

Nobody gives a damn about him or his stupid party. Not even people from his own state.

i compare parties like mdmk to RSS , bajarang dal or some small muslim political groups , who use religion , caste or use petty issues to get some political mileage , i have never said that TN is not a part of india , i have said the party mdmk has got not a lot to do with mainstream indian politics , otherwise parties like DMK , AIADMK do have a big role in indian poltics.
