20 October 2010 08:01 pm

The Indian government on Wednesday told a tribunal examining the validity of the ban on LTTE that the outfit was supporting Maoist activities and would pose danger to the sovereignty and unity of the country if it was not proscribed, media reports said.
Deposing before the 14-member Unlawful Activities Prevention Tribunal in Tamil Nadu, Secretary, Internal Security, Ministry of Home Affairs of India P K Mishra, said LTTE's extension of support to Maoist activities in India would also prove dangerous to the security of the country.
The latest notification extending the ban was issued in May last by the Union Home Ministry which had said despite its decimation, LTTE was re-grouping in Tamil Nadu and remnant of its cadres could use India, especially Tamil Nadu, as a rear base for this purpose.
