Chennai: The leader of the outlawed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Velupillai Prabhakaran, who was declared killed by the Sri Lankan army in 2009, is claimed by veteran politician Pazha Nedumaran to be living in good health and to be made a public appearance soon.
Pazha Nedumaran, the President of the World Tamil Federation, made this revelation at a press conference in Thanjavur. He said that the time now is conducive, provided by the changing global situation and Sri Lanka's political crisis including the removal of the Rajapaksa government, to appear Prabhakaran before the public, terming his killing a rumour.
"Let me inform you that he (Prabhakaran) is soon going to announce a plan for the liberation of the Tamil race. All the Tamil people of the world should support him together," Nedumaran said.
"I would like to reveal some truths about LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran. I am happy to reveal a truth which would dispel doubts about Prabhakaran. We will like to tell all the Tamil people that LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran is healthy and fine," Nedumaran said.
Prabhakaran, who founded the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and led an extensive guerrilla campaign for a Tamil state in Sri Lanka, was declared dead on May 18, 2009, following an operation by Sri Lankan army at Mullivaikal.
However, Nedumaran did not divulge the whereabouts of the slain LTTE leader.
