Several Tamil nationalist outfits and political parties including the MDMK and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi on Thursday marked the ‘birthday’ of slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran,the Indian Express reported.
Though a portrait of the Tiger leader was placed on the stage, no floral tribute was paid as the supporters had rejected the reports of Prabhakaran’s death.
Cakes were distributed at the office of Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam at Royapettah at midnight, while MDMK general secretary Vaiko distributed sweets at the party office.
