Prabhakaran makes public appearance to pay homage to Sivanesan

Making his first public appearance after claims of his injuries surfaced over three months back, elusive Tiger supremo V Prabhakaran paid homage to a slain pro-LTTE lawmaker in the rebel-held Wanni area in Sri Lanka's embattled North.

Attired in his Army fatigue with a Tiger emblem in his cap and sporting a steel wrist watch, the well-built 54-year-old Prabhakaran offered floral tributes to K Sivanesan, a Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP who was killed in a roadside bomb attack on Saturday, according to the photographs released by the LTTE.

A small group of people around Prabhakaran stood in rapt attention with hands crossed in awe and respect during the homage-paying ceremony at an undisclosed location in Wanni. It was not known when the event happened.

Prabhakaran is seen in the photographs with trim black mustaches and light black smudges above his cheeks. Earlier, in a statement, Prabhakaran had conferred the honour of mamanitan (great man) on Sivanesan while alleging that the TNA MP was killed in an explosion carried out by Sri Lankan security forces.
