In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi has said that LTTE chief Prabhakaran is his friend and


LTTE chief Prabhakaran is NOT a terrorist.


LTTE's goals are legitimate and Genuine.
Prabhakaran is my GOOD Friend

Kanimozhi says "Prabhakaran Anna"

Mr. Karunanidhi's comments put the Congress in a spot which stopped short of outright condemnation with the Tamils issue following the hostilities in Sri Lanka emerging as a major campaign issue in Tamil Nadu where the polls will be held in the last phase on May 13.

Mr. Karunanidhi, who has strong views on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue and on the LTTE which is banned in India, said the LTTE has "genuine and legitimate" goals of creating an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka, but certain methods adopted by it are wrong.


"Prabhakaran is my good friend. I am not a terrorist," Mr. Karunanidhi told NDTV in an interview when asked whether he saw the LTTE supremo a terrorist.

Subsequently asked by his daughter and DMK Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi, who was present during the interview, whether he saw Prabhakaran as a terrorist, Mr. Karunanidhi, speaking in Tamil, said "Naan appadi paarkkalai (I don't see that way)."
