TN bans pro-LTTE meeting

As the LTTE issue threatened to drive a wedge between the DMK and its ally the Congress, whose members walked out of the Tamil Nadu Assembly, with AIADMK members recently, the Tamil Nadu government today banned the “conference for Tamils’ rights,” organised by pro-LTTE leader Mr P Nedumaran tomorrow at Cuddalore.

Condemning the ban, Mr Nedumaran said chief minister Mr M Karunanidhi had bowed to the “threats of anti-Tamils who are depicting any support to Sri Lankan Tamils as a betrayal of national interests”. Such bans had been lifted by the courts earlier, he said, adding that he would move Madras High Court against the ban.
