Barely a day after Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi called LTTE chief V Prabhakaran “a good friend”, he sought to clarify his remarks saying his earlier comments had been twisted and taken out of context.
“I never said LTTE is not a terror group … I expressed concern for the Tamil cause in Sri Lanka. But the LTTE did not start as a terrorist organization, it became a terror group later…We cannot forgive the LTTE for killing Rajiv Gandhi…Sriperumbudur cannot be forgotten” M Karunanidhi
His earlier remarks:
“Prabhakaran is my good friend. I am not a terrorist”
said Karunanidhi with a laugh of the LTTE boss who is treated as a terrorist by almost the entire international community.
The DMK chief on Sunday inflicted a serious embarrassment on Congress by calling Prabhakaran a good friend.
