Indian
police has arrested the Tamil nationalist leader Pazha
Nedumaran yet another time for his demonstration in support
of the Tigers and against the Sri Lankan and Indian Governments.
The
Indian Police arrested Nedumaran and at least 164 members
of his outfit last Saturday (22nd) for staging this demonstration.
It is reported that Nedumaran and members of his Tamil
Desiya Iyakkam (Tamil Nationalist Movement) including
a dozen women, had raised slogans in favour of the banned
LTTE.
Police
said several "pro-LTTE groups", including Viduthalai
Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK-Dalit Panther) supporters, tried
to stage a demonstration at the Memorial Hall near the
railway station without permission.
The
groups were also protesting the sale of arms by India
to Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile,
Minister of Highways, Jeyaraj Fernandopulle, who is currently
in India maintained that the frequent attacks on Indian
fishermen were carried out by the LTTE and not by the
Sri Lankan Navy.
