The State Government on Saturday submitted before the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Tribunal an affidavit, and supporting documents running to two volumes, justifying the notification issued by the Union Home Ministry banning the LTTE in the country.
When the second day of the tribunal’s hearing began here on Saturday, G Sampath Kumar, the Superintendent of Police of ‘Q’ Branch here, deposed before Justice V K Jain on behalf of the State, submitting a detailed affidavit and supporting evidence.
The supporting documents were then placed in sealed covers by the orders of the tribunal on the request of the counsel appearing for both the Tamil Nadu and Central governments.
During the course of the hearing, Sampath Kumar said the annexures contained data, such as cases lodged against LTTE sympathisers in Tamil Nadu as well as operations of groups linked to the banned organisation.
Answering questions put forward by Justice V K Jain, Sampath Kumar pointed to various outfits with connections to the Tamil Tigers, including the People’s Front of the Liberation Tigers (PFLT), which continue their activities with an objective of creating a “Greater Tamil Nadu” consisting of territories belonging to the Indian Union.
