In a debate on a Tamil television channel on the attack of some self-proclaimed ‘Tamil nationalist’ outfits on the TNCC office in Chennai, the spokesman of one such outfit vociferoulsy and noisily defended their ‘democratic’ right to protest against the stand taken by the Congress party on the release of seven convicts in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
The representative of the Congress party tried to defend his party’s stand and at one point, he said his party did not adopt resolution for sending the Indian army to Sri Lanka to arrest LTTE chief Prabhakaran and bring him to India to stand trial in the case, did not say during the final phase of the war there that it was not the intention of the Lankan army to kill Tamils but in any war collateral loss of innocent lives was inevitable, did not accuse the LTTE of using innocent people as human shield in its war against Lanka troops, did not condemn DMK President Kalaignar for penning an elegy on the death of Tamilselvan, spokesman of the political wing of the LTTE etc., and posed the question to these outfits as to where were they and what were they doing when a leader in Tamil Nadu was raising all these hullabaloo?
Thereafter the noisy spokesman was dumbfounded!
