The chief minister of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Muthuvel Karunanidhi had stated his support to the LTTE terrorist group, advising Prime Minister Vajpayee not to intervene militarily in Sri Lanka, embarrassing the Prime Minister, whose government has adopted a prudent stance over the Sri Lanka military crisis, saying it could consider humanitarian aid and mediate only if asked by both sides. According to reports, Mr. Karunanidhi has stated, "Not just today, we have always held the view that we will be happy if they win their Eelam, either by battle or by means of negotiations". Mr. Karunanidhi, however, said he would not let the LTTE use Tamil Nadu, a state of 55 million people separated from Sri Lanka by a narrow strip of water, as a base. "The LTTE is a banned organisation. The government will not permit it to function here. There is no change in that position," he said.
