AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa has condemned Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi for ''eulogising'' LTTE political wing secretary Thamilselvan. Jayalalithaa has demanded the dismissal of his government for violating the Constitution by supporting the banned Sri Lankan outfit. In a statement issued in Chennai, she said Karunanidhi's ''action of praising Thamilselvan'', killed in an airstrike by the Sri Lankan airforce on Saturday, was unconstitutional as the LTTE was banned in India and its leader V Prabhakaran was a proclaimed offender in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.She alleged it was clear from Karunananidhi's action he had ''secret ties'' with the LTTE and had been ''helping'' them.

Statement by the Honourable Jim Karygiannis, Member of Parliament for Scarborough-Agincourt, Ontario:
I would like to express my distress at the news of the death of Mr. S.P. Thamilselvan, the political leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on November 2, 2007. I wish to extend my sympathies to the family of Mr. Thamilselvan and to the Canadian Tamil community. My thoughts and prayers are with you. In January 2005, following the Tsunami, I visited Sri Lanka and had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Thamilselvan. He expressed thanks to Canadians for their magnanimous generosity in a time of great need. He said there “is a thread of hope” for building mutual trust in the nation, as Singhalese and Tamils work together in rescue and relief efforts.

The UN is sending home more than 100 of the 950 Sri Lankan peacekeepers in Haiti, accusing them of sexual abuse, including with underage girls. The UN said the troops had paid for sex and that some of the girls were minors. UN peacekeepers have been involved in a series of sex-abuse scandals, including this year in Ivory Coast, where 800 were suspended. The organisation said it had a "zero tolerance" policy but it was up to the supplying nations to discipline troops.
