இந்தியத் தேர்தல் முடிவுக்குக் காந்திருந்த பிரபாகரன்

இந்திய லோக்சபாத் தேர்தல் முடிவைக் கொண்டு தனது அடுத்தகட்ட நகர்வைத் தீர்மானிக்க தமிழீழ விடுதலைப் புலிகளின் தலைவர் வே.பிரபாகரன் காத்திருந்ததாக இந்திய செய்திச் சேவையொன்று செய்திவெளியிட்டுள்ளது.

இந்திய லோக்சபாத் தேர்தலில் பாரதீய ஜனதாக் கட்சி தலைமையிலான தேசிய ஜனநாயகக் கூட்டணி அல்லது மூன்றாவது அணி வெற்றிபெற்று புதுடில்லியில் ஆட்சியமைக்கும் எனப் பிரபாகரன் எதிர்பார்த்திருந்ததாகவும்; அந்த ஊடகம் செய்திவெளியிட்டுள்ளது.

மே 16ஆம் திகதிவரை இந்தியத் தேர்தல் முடிவுகளுக்குப் பிரபாகரன் காத்திருந்த நேரம், இலங்கை இராணுவத்தினர் தமது திட்டங்களை மாற்றி புலிகளின் தலைவர்கள் தப்பியோடுவதற்கிருந்த அனைத்து வழிகளையும் மூடிவிட்டதாக அந்த செய்திச் சேவை தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

“இறுதி நேரத்தில் யாராவது தலையிட்டு மோதல்களை நிறுத்துவார்கள் என்ற எதிர்பார்ப்புடன் பிரபாகரன் இருந்துள்ளார்” என இராணுவ வட்டாரங்களை மேற்கோள்காட்டி அந்தச் செய்திச் சேவை செய்தி வெளியிட்டுள்ளது.

எனினும், இந்தியாவில் காங்கிரஸ் கட்சி வெற்றிபெற்று வருகிறது என்பதை அறிந்துகொண்ட விடுதலைப் புலிகள், தமது கட்டுப்பாட்டிலிருந்த பொதுமக்களைப் பாதுகாப்பான பகுதிகளுக்குச் செல்லுமாறு அறிவித்ததாகவும் அதில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ளது.


Prabhakaran waited for Indian poll results

NEW DELHI: Velupillai Prabhakaran was waiting for the results of Indian elections to plan his next strategy in the 30-year-old civil war in Sri
Lanka and was apparently hoping that either the NDA or the Third Front would come to power in New Delhi, but the army there had different plans.

It has now emerged that the 54-year-old slain guerrilla leader was waiting till May 16, the day results of Lok Sabha elections were known, to decide on his and the outfit's future, but it was too late as the Sri Lankan Army had by then cut off all the escape routes.

"Till May 16, he (Prabhakaran) was hoping that someone will interfere and stop the army from entering the final 'No Fire Zone' where he was held up," Sri Lankan Army sources said.

On May 16th afternoon, LTTE announced that it would allow all civilians trapped in the area held by them to leave to safety, apparently after knowing that the Congress, which it believed was hostile to him and the outfit, was set to return to power.

Sources in the Tamil polity in Sri Lanka said the LTTE was hoping that there would be a popular upsurge for it in Tamil Nadu, where the general elections were fought on the Eelam plank, and that the Third Front or the NDA could come to power.

"This (election results) might have upset Prabhakaran and other leaders of the outfit, but they did not have time to think or plan anything. They were boxed by the Army by that time," the Tamil sources said.

The LTTE chief would have thought that the Third Front and the NDA would not be so hostile as the Congress was, they said, adding that once the people started leaving the war zone, Sri Lankan Army swiftly rescued the civilians and took them to safe zones.

AIADMK's Jayalalithaa, who was part of the Third Front, expressed support to the Sri Lankan Tamils cause and had even promised to send Indian Army to carve out Tamil Eelam from Sri Lanka if a government of her choice came to power in New Delhi.

On May 16 afternoon, LTTE's International Relations head Selvarasa Pathmanathan issued a statement in which the outfit virtually accepted defeat and asked the "global community to save the people of Wanni."

They said Prabhakaran did not expect that the Sri Lankan forces would encircle him and his aides "so soon".

The army also got a tip off from LTTE Sea Tigers chief Soosai's wife, who was taken into custody while trying to flee the island, that Prabhakaran and the top brass were still inside the war zone.

"This emboldened the Army which went all out against the Tigers and virtually encircled them in a 2 sq. km area in the Wanni region on May 16. That gave no chance for any of the Tiger leaders to escape," the sources said.

Velupillai Prabhakaran

The rest of the world might never understand the violence Velupillai Prabhakaran stood for, but its imprint on Sri Lanka is wide and deep. For 26 years, the elusive leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had waged war with the government to win an independent homeland, or eelam, for the island's Tamil minority. The struggle claimed more than 70,000 lives--including, on May 18, Prabhakaran's. The government says he was killed, along with 17 of his trusted lieutenants, while fleeing an army ambush.

Prabhakaran, 54, was born to a middle-class family on the Jaffna Peninsula. Incensed by discrimination against Tamils and radicalized by a militant grade-school teacher, Prabhakaran founded the LTTE in 1976, a year after a group he headed claimed responsibility for killing Jaffna's mayor. By 1983 the guerrilla movement--which pioneered suicide bombings and the recruitment of child soldiers--escalated the fighting into a civil war.

At the height of his power earlier this decade, Prabhakaran led a de facto government that controlled vast swaths of territory and boasted its own systems of taxes, roads and courts. As the army closed in, he allegedly used thousands of Tamil civilians as human shields. By the final days, just 250 LTTE members remained. They died too, along with the dream of eelam.
