Nedumaran and voyage to 'save' Jaffna Tamils

Pro LTTE Tamil Nadu politician P.Nedumaran announced his intention to cross the Palk strait with 'hundreds of boats' full of his supporters and 'supplies' to the Tamil people of Jaffna as protest against the Indian governments support towards the government of Sri Lanka.Nedumaran the leader of the Tamil National Movement it Tamil Nadu has been a longstanding supporter and promoter of the LTTE ,its leader V Prabakaran and LTTE murderous campaign of terror in Sri Lanka and in India.
 
Nedumaran is known to be one of the few people who never condoned the murder of Rajiv Ghandhi , former PM of India ,by the LTTE and had travelled many time illegally to Jaffna and Vanni in Sri Lanka with the help of the LTTE to further its cause in waging terror.
 
since of yesterday the Indian Cost Guard has informed the Sri Lankan Navy that they will prevent any illegal crossing and nothing much is expected from Nedumaran as accoriding to the news reports from Tamil Nadu , support to Nedumarans move has gathered  little or no support from the populace of Tamil Nadu.
 
however, there is a very interesting twist to this 'crossing' .
 
yesterday the Sri Lanka Navy destroyed and sunk three major ocean going vessels of the LTTE  ,believed to be carrying a large consignment of arms, ammunition, light air crafts and speed boats ,off the south east coast of Sri Lanka.
 
can this 'crossing'  be a diversion to the more extraordinary move by the LTTE to resupply itself with arms ?
 
its about time the Government , and its security apparatus should make more seriously look into  the real reasons behind this 'crossing' and the timings as one could expect the bulk of the small Sri Lankan Navy to be positioned in Manner Sea , with the intention of intercepting and blocking the planned 'crossing' of Nedumaran while the three LTTE gunrunning ships slide un checked and dislodge its dangerous cargo.
