The
final leg of election meeting took
place in full swing in various parts
of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. A
group of directors under the banner
of Film World’s Tamil Eelam
Support Movement campaigned against
the Congress party in Puducherry
today near the New Bus Stand.
Noted film directors, Seeman, R
K Selvamani, lyricist Snehan and
many others took part in the election
campaign. Bharathirajaa who was
supposed to take part in the event
was unable to make it as he was
arrested following the black flag
demonstration in Chennai yesterday.
The star speaker of the event Seeman
elaborately explained the gory happenings
in war-ravaged Sri Lanka. He pleaded
for the security and freedom of
the Tamils in the island nation
and asked everyone to support the
AIADMK combine which consists of
MDMK, PMK, CPI and CPM for their
stance on creating separate Tamil
Eelam.
Remembering his arrest in Puducherry
for his inflammatory speech, he
said he decided to end his 10-day
campaign in the same place (Puducherry).
He also highlighted the incompetence
of the government to bring Cauvery
water, resolution of Mullaiperiyar
issue, Hogenakkal drinking water
project and Palar project and claimed
that Tamils were quiet on these
issues but will not remain so when
their race is being slaughtered
by the Rajapaksa regime.
He also claimed that Sonia Gandhi
has taken the lives of thousands
of Tamils just to counter one death.
He blamed the Congress Government
for the atrocities happening in
the island nation and for shattering
the 60 years old dream of the Sri
Lankan Tamils.
Seeman also raised questions on
why Indira Gandhi trained Prabhakaran
and why Rajiv Gandhi sent Indian
Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) to Sri
Lanka and asked if this is not interference
in the sovereignty of a country.
If that can be done why cannot the
Indian government send their troops
to form separate Eelam, he questioned.
Stating that this election is between
money vs. racial affinity, he said
that a true Tamil should vote for
a party that recognises the welfare
of their race and not for the hand
symbol of Congress who are indirectly
helping the Sri Lankan government
in the war.
Questioning about the Rs 200 crores
that was sent to Sri Lanka by the
Indian Government recently, Seeman
demanded for what purpose the funds
were sent, whether to help Sinhalese
or Tamils.
Finally on concluding his speech
he urged the international community
to revoke the ban on the LTTE.
