BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Friday urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to take immediate action on the Home Ministry’s communication to her seeking the State government’s assistance on the whereabouts of an LTTE operative, a Catholic Christian priest.

In a statement, Dr. Swamy said the priest had been named as accused by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in a complaint filed before a court in the United States for terrorist related activities. He as a LTTE operative in the U.S. had tried to bribe U.S. under-cover State Department officials to obtain material assistance for the LTTE two years ago.

Dr. Swamy said: “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 a NDTV & CNN IBN panel discussions on Sri Lanka. And hence it is clear that he is hiding somewhere in Tamil Nadu. Therefore the Ministry of Home Affairs alerted to this LTTE terrorist on the run and has sought the help of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister in nabbing him so that he can be dispatched to the U.S. for facing criminal prosecution.”(The HIndu)

Dr. Swamy has made a very valid point. Jaya should arrest all LTTE supporters and have them deported to SL so that the SL Govt can take action. Well said Dr. Swamy.

if Jayalalitha or someone else tries to curtail LTTE activities, the entire Tamil NAdu State Govt. must be in Jail as all are LTTE supporters.

These were terrorists (supporters) in cassocks. They should be caught , disrobed and criminally prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

What makes him think that she will. These two are birds of a feather and thick as thieves. Good luck in nabbing him.

Fr. Singarayar, Fr. Immanuel, Fr. Gasparraj all these priests should be ashamed of their oaths.

Swamy is trying to divert the attention of everyone since he is now being accused of involvement in Rajiv Ghandi's assasination.

The bishop of Mannar once said that "Tiger's flag is Tamil's flag".Now a catholic priest is wanted by the US for his alleged involvement with the Tigers.During recent Cameron's visit to Jaffna some catholic priests were also in the forefront of the protest organized by Ananthi,ex-LTTEer.

Tamil Nadu has a history of harboring terrorist and still continues to do so. They are a huge part of the problem but they hypocritically demand a solution knowing they will never allow it to happen .

Cobra Saturday, 30 November 2013 12:49 PM

It would be like asking the Taliban to nab one of its leaders!!!

Calistus Jayatilleke Saturday, 30 November 2013 12:24 PM

The terrorist might be hiding under the saree of the fat lady, for all you know.
