AIADMK seeks enhanced security for Jayalalithaa

----------------------------------------------
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Wednesday permitted counsel for the AIADMK general secretary, Jayalalithaa, to move the court on Thursday with regard to a letter, which issued a “final warning to her not to interfere in the Tamil Eelam LTTE issue”.

Counsel for Ms.Jayalalithaa, A. Navaneethakrishnan and L.P. Shanmugasundaram, told Justice M. Jaichandren in his chamber this afternoon regarding the receipt of the letter by the former Chief Minister.

Mr. Justice Jaichandren permitted counsel to move the court in the matter on Thursday.

In the letter from “Ulagath Thamizh Ina Paadukaappu Kazhagam (Bangkok branch), headquarters at Canada-910002,” the organisation’s “Aasia Thitta Aluvalar, Ve. Thamizhmaenthan” asked the former Chief Minister to mind her business and not to indulge in a “false campaign” against the Tamil Eelam LTTE in Tamil Nadu.

The letter said she was being warned in her own interest.

New Delhi: AIADMK Chief J Jayalalithaa's convoy was stoned near Madurai on Thursday, a day after she received an assasination threat allegedly from a Canada-based pro-LTTE outfit.

While Jayalalithaa was not hurt, her car window was broken after stones were pelted as she was on her way from Madurai to Ramnad district.

Jayalalithaa has blamed the DMK for the attack and says her security cover is not enough.

The incident comes a day after she received a hand written letter that said if Jayalalithaa does not stop criticising the LTTE she will be assasinated like former Pakistan prime minister, Benazir Bhutto.

The letter was allegedly sent from Malaysia.

Media’s responsibility to promote peace processes: Ram

COLOMBO: “Time has come for the media in South Asia to seriously introspect on its role on how it could improve its performance in the betterment of the welfare of the people and the peace processes in the society,” N. Ram, Editor-in-chief of The Hindu, said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a function where he was awarded the Best Journalist of Asia by the Sri Lanka Mass Media Society (a government-supported NGO to promote excellence in the media world), Mr. Ram said the media had a role to play to promote “sustainable peace” in the region through non-violent means.

Mr. Ram conceded that there was scope for the media to lend voice to different views but maintained at the end of the day it was “accountability to the society that counts.”
