Swamy flays Tamil leaders' plea

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI July 15. The Janata Party president, Subramanian Swamy, has said: ``The statement made by the five-party Tamil Alliance, which represents Tamils who have surrendered to the LTTE, has shamelessly appealed to the Tamil Nadu Government to free the MDMK leader, Vaiko, from prison.

These so-called Tamil leaders do not realise that in India, we value life a little more than Sri Lankans."

In a statement released here today, Dr. Swamy said, ``The LTTE killed Rajiv Gandhi on Indian soil, after having lived off Indian hospitality for years. We Indians will never forget or forgive that.

They (the Tamil leaders) have shamelessly forgotten that their Presidents and several Ministers have been killed or attempted to be killed by the LTTE, not to mention the decimation of Tamil leadership by the terrorist organisation''.
