Shocking claim: Prabhakaran, former LTTE leader, reportedly alive and with his wife and daughter Posted on February 15, 2023 News By Akta Yadav 423 Views Shocking claim:- Is Velupillai Prabhakaran, the former leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), still alive? According to Tamil nationalist leader P Nedumaran, the answer is yes. He recently made this bold claim, sharing the information with the Tamil diaspora and stating that Prabhakaran is doing well and will soon announce his plan to liberate Tamil Eelam. Nedumaran attributes this revelation to the altered geopolitical situation and the "revolt" of the Sinhalese people against the Rajapaksa regime in Sri Lanka. Prabhakaran led the LTTE in a violent struggle for an independent Tamil homeland. However, he was killed by the Sri Lankan military in 2009. During a press conference in Thanjavur, Nedumaran emphasized that under Prabhakaran's leadership, the LTTE did not allow any anti-Indian forces to use Sri Lanka's land. He believes that China's influence in Sri Lanka has grown significantly, and the country is now under its control. Nedumaran has urged the Indian government to take appropriate action to address this geopolitical situation. Shocking claim Who was he? Pazha Nedumaran is a writer, activist, and the editor-in-chief of the Tamil bi-weekly Then Seidi. He was once a member of the Congress party and played a key role in securing the release of Kannada superstar Rajkumar from bandit Veerappan in 2000. Nedumaran is a close friend of Prabhakaran and had met with him during the Sri Lankan war. In 1992, he was charged with sedition for a pro-LTTE speech, but was acquitted in 2003 after spending 15 months in jail. Nedumaran's son Palani Kumanan is an engineer who works with The Wall Street Journal. In 2015, he was a key member of the WSJ investigative journalism team that won the Pulitzer Prize. Prabhakaran's death occurred on May 18, 2009, as the Sri Lankan army launched a full-scale offensive against the LTTE. Prabhakaran's hideout in the Mullaithivu region was surrounded, and he attempted to escape with a group of followers in an armored van. After a two-hour exchange of fire, a rocket fired by the Sri Lankan troops hit the van, killing Prabhakaran and his followers. The LTTE officially confirmed his death a week later.
