LTTE rejects claims about Peace Secretary's house arrest
The LTTE has dismissed claims that the Director of its 'Peace Secretariat' has been put under house arrest on the direction of the outfit's chief V Prabhakaran, terming such reports as "propaganda" by the Sri Lankan government.
"This is a propaganda of the Sri Lankan government. (Seevaratnam) Pulidevan (LTTE Peace Secretariat director) continues to work in the same position," Tamil Tigers' political head B Nadesan was quoted as saying in a report.
He was reacting to a Defence Ministry report which cited sources in the rebel stronghold of Wanni to say that Pulidevan, the so called "peace secretary" of the LTTE, had been placed under house arrest "on direct orders" of Prabhakaran.
"According to information received from defence intelligence authorities, the arrest has been made as a result of a worsening internal dispute among key LTTE figures," the ministry report said.
It quoted sources as saying that an armed gang led by LTTE's intelligence wing leader Pottu Amman had made the arrest a few days back.
