Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Wednesday alleged that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam was linked with the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi in an "indirect way."
"That has been our basic charge since a long time. We have always said DMK was behind the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in an indirect way," the All India [ Images ] Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief told mediapersons, responding to queries on reported remarks of Pathmanathan, leader of the now decimated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, that the DMK's ideology of anti-Brahminism could have influenced the outfit to kill Gandhi.
I lived in Madras (now Chennai) during those days and I believe her: given the hospitality extended by the DMK government to LTTE leaders in Tamilnadu, the-diplomatic-impunity kind with which they used to get away with crimes and carrying guns, wherever they went, terrorizing the local population there. Later the Jayalalithaa's assumption of power and rounding up all the armed gangs of LTTE (in my own neighborhood) and packing them off to where they belonged.
She even was the LTTE target for assassination.
