    as soon as MS-RW came to power LTTE members were arrested in EU, and now in India. It was RW that even asked the EU to ban the LTTE while MR did nothing!

    He was only trying to run not try to revive the LTTE(Which will never happen until RW keeps up his foreign policy) so no need to hype things
