Nedumaran made this comment while addressing a protest demonstration near the Sri Lankan Deputy High Commission in Chennai.
The demonstration and public meeting was in protest of recent comments made by Sri Lankan Army commander Lt.Gen Sarath Fonseka that political leaders of Tamil Nadu like “Vaiko” (V.Gopalaswamy) and P. Nedumaran were “jokers” bribed by the LTTE.
Sri Lanka’s Tamil National Alliance Parliamentarian MK Sivajilingam was also present when Nedumaran referred to the Jaffna district MP being ordered to depart from India voluntarily or face deportation.
Sivajilingam also addressed the meeting along woth other Tamil Nadu politicians.
Nedumaran 0bserved that the Sri Lankan army commanders comments have insulted all Tamil Nadu politicians as well as all Indian political leader.
He called upon the Indian government to express its strong protest to the Mahinda government on this.
Continuing further Nedumaran announced publicly that Sri Lankan Tamil MP Sivajilingam who had been exposing the genocidal activities of the Sri Lankan government had been told by the Indian Central government to leave India immediately because he was engaged in political propaganda on Indian soil.
But if Sivajilingam were to leave India and return to Sri Lanka the Sri Lankan Tamil MP would lose his life the very next minute he landed in the Island, Nedumaran further said.
Because of the danger to his life , Sivajilingam has sought refuge in his “motherland” Tamil Nadu stated Nedumaran.
If Sivajilingam is compelled to return to Sri Lanka and any danger to his life occurs then Indian Prime Minister Shree Manmohan Singh would be held responsible said Nedumaran.
“The Indian Prime Minister is answerable”he warned.
