The External Affairs Ministry has learnt that the statue, of former LTTE Political wing leader Thamilchelvan erected in a French Town, has been removed from the place it was first erected.

“Our Ambassador in Paris briefed the Mayor and members of the Municipal Council of the town of La Courneuve, about the atrocities committed by Thamilchelvan. He further had extensive discussions with the French Foreign Ministry on this matter,” External Affairs Ministry Director General of Public Communication and Spokesperson Bandula Jayasekara told the Daily Mirror.

La Courneuve, reportedly home to a large Tamil population, erected the statue of Thamilchelvan on the 1st of November this year. (D.S)

I thought he was in political wing not in military wing. And our valiant airforce bombed and killed him

Faqi Thursday, 16 December 2010 06:24 PM

Who the hell cares? I doubt that any Frenchman would know who this character was. Its immaterial now, he is not coming back.

Dinu Thursday, 16 December 2010 08:03 PM

I wonder about french government and its people; are they mad to allow to erect a statue of a terrorist of banned terrorist group.

Lakmikanth Thursday, 16 December 2010 09:07 PM

Sin, real war hero led a luxurious life with his chief , out of forcefully collected money.

Frank Thursday, 16 December 2010 11:20 PM

Gayan Samarasekara Thursday, 16 December 2010 04:53 AM

War against terrorism means the war against Muslims for the westerner. Real terrorists become saints, if they are non-Muslims.

They need to be evaluated and check their performance.
Need to appoint a go getter.

Pramod F Thursday, 16 December 2010 08:22 AM
