By Our Staff Reporter

Pondicherry, DEC. 5. The Pondicherry PWD Minister, Mr. P. Kannan, today named the Cooperation Minister, Mr. Theni C. Jayakumar ``as the person having close links with the LTTE.''

It was now upto the Central and State Governments to take appropriate and stern action against the Minister, he told reporters here. Mr. Kannan said he would also apprise the Centre soon of the details, and had furnished evidence and related material to sections concerned.
