LTTE Leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is Alive and Not Dead confirms the Press

Yesterday there was a lot of hype in the news channels and other sections of the media that the dreaded LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran has been killed by the advancing Sri Lankan Army. There were even debates on Indian News Channels whether he was killed by the Sri Lankan Army or if he had committed suicide.

But lo and behold, we have fresh confirmed news from the PTI (Press Trust of India) that there have been reports emanating that Velupillai Prabhakaran is still very much alive. It has based it's report on a pro-LTTE website called www.tamilnet.com which has come out today with a claim that the Tamil Tiger supremo and leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is still "alive and safe", this is just a day after the Sri Lankan army announced that it has killed Prabhakaran. The website is currently working on full load as millions of people are accessing it to grab the latest news. The news has been published a few hours ago.

Now that gets very interesting to watch out! Many people who have been closely following LTTE for the last few years thought of the same that Prabhakaran must have easily escaped to any of the supporters worldwide.

To add more credibility to this report, the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa addressed the Parliament and the people of Sri Lanka today and said that Sri Lanka has been liberated from terrorism. But, interestingly he never mentioned that Prabhakaran was killed in his entire speech. Rajapaksa also said that for the first time in 30 years Sri Lanka is unified, following the government's defeat of the Tamil Tiger rebels.

I am very sure that we will have another case of Subash Chandra Bose that some Indians feel is very much alive and some feel he is dead. So, looks like the legacy of Velupillai Prabhakaran will continue!!
