Tamil Nadu Assembly Ends With Row Over LTTE

The last day of the Tamil Nadu assembly session ended Friday as it had begun - with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) topping the agenda of all parties in the house.

The ruling DMK headed by M. Karunanidhi was asked by both the opposition AIADMK and ally Congress to crack down on 'supporters of terrorism'.

Making a rare appearance in the house, Leader of Opposition J. Jayalalitha blasted the DMK government on law and order and alleged that the state was 'becoming a haven for anti-social elements and extremists'.

She added that Tamil Nadu was becoming 'an LTTE base' and an 'arms den'. The government, she said, was unable to protect even leaders of friendly parties - a reference to the recent attack on Tamil Nadu Congress president M. Krishnaswamy by an armed gang while he was on a visit to the southern districts.

In a vitriolic speech, the former chief minister said that allies of the government were taking inspiration from Karunanidhi in expressing support for outfits like the LTTE, banned in India.
