Swamy assails Fernandes' talks with Vaiko, Nedumaran

By Our Staff Reporter

MADURAI, APRIL 7. The Janata Party president, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, has expressed `shock' at the reported meeting of the former Defence Minister, Mr. George Fernandes and the MDMK General Secretary, Mr. Vaiko, with Mr. P. Nedumaran, a Tamil Nationalist movement leader, in Chennai.

In a statement issued here today, Dr. Swamy, claiming to have sourced his information from the Intelligence Bureau, alleged that the meeting pertained to rehabilitation of the LTTE within India.

Dr. Swamy insisted that the Government should firmly convey to the Norwegian peace emissaries that the LTTE supremo, Mr. V. Prabhakaran, is wanted in India for having ordered the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, which, he added, was a crime against the nation.
