Capture Prabhakaran alive, India urges Sri Lanka
India has reiterated that Sri Lanka capture Tamil Tigers chief Velupillai Prabhakaran alive and extradite him to India, sources in the external affairs ministry said Tuesday.
‘India will continue to request that Prabhakaran be caught alive,’ a ministry source said.
At the same time, New Delhi is aware that Colombo will hand him over only after trying him in Sri Lanka for the crimes he has committed in that country, the source pointed out.
Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa said Monday Colombo would extradite Prabhakaran, if caught alive, to India - but after first putting him through trial in his country.
In an interview to a private news channel, Rajapaksa said it was ‘almost over’ for the LTTE chief and he could be caught very soon.
