Sri Lankan Tamil MP Sivajilingam ordered to "quit India', may seek "political asylum" in Chennai
By Mrinalini Ramachandra

A fresh controversy has erupted in Tamil Nadu state of India after the Indian central government issued orders that Sri Lankan Tamil Parliamentarian MK Sivajilingam must “Quit India” voluntarily within 72 hours or face deportation.

He is suspected of aiding, abetting and instigating many political demonstrations and meetings in India that demand a removal of the LTTE ban and extending support for establishment of Tamil Eelam.

Sivajilingam has openly participated in Indian political meetings and spoken in support of Tamil Eelam and the LTTE.

This is seen as both “interference” in the domestic politics of India as well as using “Indian soil” to undermine a friendly country like Sri Lanka.

Since Sivajilingam is an elected Mp the Indian authorities have given him “Time” to depart voluntarily instead of forcibly deporting him.

Some years ago a Sri Lankan Tamil political activist MK Eelavendhan was deported to Sri Lanka for indulging in political activity supporting the LTTE.

In what could be regarded as blatant defiance of the Indian “order” Sivajilingam who was staying at the Jawarhalal Nehru University hostel in new Delhi has immediately gone to the Tamil Nadu capital Chennai instead of complying with the official instructions and leaving India.

Sivajilingam had the “chutzpah” to participate brazenly in a MDMK sponsored protest near the Sri Lankan deputy – high commission in Chennai.

MDMK leader Vaiko (V. Gopalswamy) revealed while speaking at the meeting that Sivajilingam had been asked to leave India for engaging in political propaganda on Indian soil. Vaiko stated cryptically tht Sivajilingam had now sought “political asylum” in Tamil Nadu as he feared returning to Sri Lanka.

Vaiko stated that Sivajilingam would be killed if he went back to Sri Lanka.

Political observers opine that Sivajilingam may seek political asylum in India as an effective political statement.
