A security risk for India: Swamy

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI JUNE 9. The Janata Party president, Subramanian Swamy, told presspersons here today that any move by the Sri Lankan Government to hand over the interim administration in the island's Tamil majority region to the LTTE would be a "security risk for India."

If the Sri Lankan Government went ahead with its proposal then it would only show that the country had surrendered to the LTTE, he said.

Referring to the resignation of the Union Minister, Gingee Ramachandran, he said neither the Minister nor the MDMK could plead ignorance, as the personal assistant of the Minister was appointed at the behest of the party general secretary, Vaiko, and the PA drew authority from him.

He felt that a third front in Tamil Nadu would soon become a reality as a political vacuum was developing in the State, which should be filled by secular forces.
