CONSIGNMENT OF RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT FROM NORWAY TO TAMIL
MILITANTS
Asked about the reports that the liberation tigers
of tamil eelam had acquired a fresh consignment of radio broadcasting equipment
from norway ,Mr . kanwal sibal , foreign secretary
of indian government said that ' jury is out ' on whether it was an FM
,with short range capability, or a longer range shortwave, capable transmitting
into south asia.
If it was of longer range '' we will evalute it
differently'' he said.

Tamil tigers has not shown any
reaction on these news.
however , there may be
widespread expectations among media that indian
government will not be serious on LTTE'S intention to extend their
shortwave radio coverage beyond srilanka.since the tigers had already used
shortwave facilities for south asian coverage so many years
[ upto 2000]. Also the indian co-alition government was supported by
some pro-ltte parties like samata party[ it's leader -
george fernandes-defence minister], MDMK,DMK, PMK
etc.
