SWAMY URGES JAYA TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST ‘LTTE OPERATOR GASPAR RAJ’
Saturday, 30 November 2013 | PNS | Chennai
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Friday urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa to take action on Home Ministry’s communication on LTTE operative Father Gaspar Raj, against whom the FBI had issued warrant.
“He as a LTTE operative in US had tried to bribe US undercover State Department officials to obtain material assistance for the LTTE two years ago. Subsequently, warrant for his arrest had been issued and the FBI is now on a lookout for him. He has since escaped to India. Recently he surfaced on NDTV and CNN IBN panel discussions on Sri Lanka. And hence it is clear that he is hiding somewhere in Tamil Nadu,” said Swamy in a letter to Jayalalithaa, citing a warrant of FBI issued by a District Court of New York.
Swamy said that Gaspar Raj was enjoying the patronage of several regional parties in Tamil Nadu and engaged in organising pro-LTTE functions across the State. According to the FBI warrant, Gaspar Raj along with other LTTE operatives engaged in fund raising for the terrorist organisation. They also tried to bribe US officials to remove LTTE from the list of terrorist organisations.
“I demand that the CM place national interest above her competitive Dravidian politics, and direct the TN Police to nab this wanted terrorist. The TN CM’s soft attitude to terrorist in Tamil Nadu has harmed the State and therefore seriously undermined law and order in TN, as well as compromised India’s sovereignty and good neighbourly relations with Sri Lanka,” said Swamy.
