Leader of the People’s Liberation Organization of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE) Dharmalinagam Siddarhthan said that Prabhakaran who used violence and arms to become the sole leader of the Tamil people finally reached his end as a person who was not accepted by the people.
He was speaking at a ‘Veera Makkal’ ceremony remembering PLOTE members who had been killed by LTTE attacks. The PLOTE had been conducting the ‘Veera Makkal’ ceremonies from June 13 to 16 since the killing of its founder leader Uma Maheswaran. The event took place near the Vavuniya Kovilkulam Uma Maheswaran memorial.
He further said that unlike Prabhakaran who believed in becoming the leader of the Tamil people through violence and arms he believes that the liberation of the Tamil people could be achieved by working for their development.
He said that a large number of civilians were killed, maimed and wounded due to the action of the LTTE and the end result of the armed struggle was that a large number of people had become destitute. He added that Prabhakaran did not die as a hero at the end.
Mr. Siddaththan added that the government and he are committed to provide a free life to the Tamil civilians in the country.
Another noteworthy feature of this year’s ‘Veera Makkal’ ceremony of the PLOTE was that it was held without any weapons.
