Chennai: The news of LTTE chief Prabhakaran's death is showing its repercussions in Tamil Nadu.
In Salem district, activists belonging to Centre for Protection of Civil Liberties indulged in arson, damaging buses and forcing shops to be shut. Police have arrested around thirty of them.
On Monday night, in Tirunelvelli pro-Tamil activists even threw petrol bombs at the BSNL office and the district court buildings soon after unconfirmed reports of Prabhakaran's death came in.
While that war raged in Lanka, the politicians in India had made it an election issue. And the issue is still very much alive.
On Tuesday, DMK MP and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi said it's important to ensure that Tamils get their rights.
Meanwhile, a leading US daily has also asked Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa to guarantee the rights of Tamils for lasting peace in the country after the defeat of the rebels.
"If he (Rajapaksa) is to ensure that Sri Lanka leaves behind the violence that has plagued it for so long, he will have to sponsor a political process that is fully inclusive and democratic and that guarantees the rights of Tamils under a peaceful rule of law," 'The Washington Post' said in an editorial.
