[TamilNet, Tuesday, 12 February 2008, 14:00 GMT]
In a TamilNet’s short interview with TNA Parliamentarian M.K. Shivajilingam,
he said that Tamil Tigers cannot be crushed or destroyed militarily, as
the LTTE is more militarily powerful than it was earlier. As he is a
member of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) who therefore has a
completely unbiased opinion, and as peaceful politicians with no
affiliation what so ever to the LTTE.
We solicited his expert opinion on the current futile war by the failed Sinhala racist leader Mahinda Rajapakse.
TamilNet: Can the LTTE be defeated?
M.K: The LTTE cannot be defeated.
TamilNet: You say the LTTE are MORE powerful than before?
M.K: Yes.
TamilNet: Are you sure?
M.K: Yes.
TamilNet: Any specific reasons or factors for you to believe
this to be true? Many claim the opposite in the light of the seemingly
severe defeats suffered by the LTTE?
M.K: Simply because I say so.
TamilNet: Are you sure?
M.K: Yes
TamilNet: Could you be mistaken in your estimation of their power?
After all, the East has been lost, the money supply by the IC has been
drastically reduced, there seem to be a lot of child conscription, and
the LTTE do not seem to be winning too many battles against the SLA?
M.K: No
TamilNet: We see … anything else you would like to add for our loyal
supporters who know that Hon. V. Pirapaharan will save the day and
eventually defeat the Sinhala army?
M.K: No.
TamilNet: Thank you for your time Honorable MP.
