Tamil Nadu police yesterday (12) arrested pro-LTTE party activists Nedumaaran and , Vaiko, the leader of Marumalardchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhakam (MDMK) for defying a ban imposed on a rally in Chennnai, supporting the internationally banned LTTE terror outfit.

According to TamilNadu news sources, this is a consecutive failure in Nedumaran's effort to catch support for the tribal terrorist cause. Earlier, he was arrested in mid-September by the TamilNadu government while attempting to make into the Sri Lankan territorial waters.

The rally was organised among few tribal leaders in TamilNadu to condemn the loss of front line LTTE military man, Tamilchelvan in a pin-point aerial raid conducted by the SLAF, on 02nd November, TamilNadu sources said.

Nedumaran and Vaiko were arrested while bearing a Tamilchelvan photo, at the tribal gathering attended by LTTE sympathizers, news agencies report. Internal sources have confirmed that the rally was organized following an open statement made by the notorious terror leader Prabakaran last week condemning the diminishing international support for the separatist cause.

"The cases were registered against Vaiko and Nedumaran under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and under sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 143 (punishment) of IPC. They were produced before a magistrate, who remanded them to judicial custody for a fortnight", The Hindu reported.

The LTTE is an International terrorist organisation banned in India since 1992, which was also charged with the assassination of the former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, on 21st May 1991.
