27 political leaders got money from LTTE - Swamy

 
Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy claimed he had ‘official evidence’ that 27 political leaders belonging to various parties in Tamilnadu received money from the LTTE.

Speaking to the Indian media, he said he would go to the courts with the evidence if Prime Minister Manmohan Singh failed to take action against ‘those leaders’.

‘I have received official and authentic evidence from Sri Lanka that 27 political leaders in the State received money from the Tigers. I am ready to unveil the details in the court if the Prime Minister of India failed to initiate action against them,’ he said.

Swamy also named some political leaders, including some popular ones, and alleged all of them were paid by the LTTE seeking their support.
