| MGR - M.G.Ramachandran |

The 16th death anniversary of the former
Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu,
Mr.M.G.Ramachandran, was commemorated in
Vavuniya Wednesday at the Veerasingham Hall
at the Multi-Purpose Cooperative Union (MPCU)
building. The LTTE's political head in
Vavuniya, Mr. S. Ezhilan, and the Vanni
district Tamil National Alliance (TNA)
parliamentarian, Mr. N. Sivasakthi Anandan
and several other prominent personalities in
Vavuniya participated, sources said.
"Though MGR was a movie star, he did several
good deeds for the people of Tamil Nadu when
he was the Chief Minister. When our movement
needed money, he gave us money out of his
private funds. He fully recognized the need
for our armed struggle. He never sought
political gain through his support to our
cause," said Mr. Ezhilan.
"The struggle for Tamil people's political
rights is a just struggle," he said. "We are
prepared to face anything that may impede our
struggle."
Mr. S. Gnanapragasam, the head of the
organizing committee for the commemoration,
presided over the event. "Sivaneri Puravalar"
S. A. Ramaswamy, the head of the Vavuniya
Hindu Association and a businessman, lit the
traditional lamp. Businessman Mr. S.
Kulendran unveiled a picture of MGR.
Mr. K.A. Senthilnathan, the Vavuniya district
head of the All Ceylon Tamil Congress (ACTC),
Mr. Sivasakthi Anandan, MP, and many others
present paid homage to the late leader by
scattering flowers in front of his picture.
In memory of MGR, Mr. Ramaswamy handed over a
thousand exercise books to Mr. Ezhilan for
distributing to poor students in the
district.
Continuing his speech, Mr. Ezhilan said, "It
is common for liberation organizations to get
financial support from a country or other
external organizations. But our situation is
different. We carry on our struggle with only
the support of our people.
"When our movement needed emergency funds in
Mr.Ramachandran's time, he understood it and
provided the funds. Even when he was
seriously ill, he would inquire about the
struggle of the Tamils of Eelam. For the
Tamils of Eelam, his death was an irreparable
loss. At that time, the current CM of Tamil
Nadu, Ms. Jayalalitha Jayaram, who was with
MGR, also supported his policies. But her
policies toward us have changed now.
"India has an important responsibility toward
the Tamils of Eelam. India should come
forward to fulfill these responsibilities."
Mr. Anandan, the TNA MP, said in his speech,
"India rendered immense help to Tamils of
Eelam after the July 1983 pogroms in Sri
Lanka until the Operation Liberation of the
Sri Lanka Army in Vadamaradchi in 1987.
Similarly, the late MGR helped the struggle
immensely whenever the struggle needed his
assistance.
"Tamil people are aware that a Federal
solution cannot be found without India's
help. They look to India as an important and
friendly power. Tamil people's expectation
and wish is that India should show genuine
concern for their problems, and should work
toward finding a permanent solution with
dedication and sincerity."
