A calendar apparently depicting the logo of the banned rebel outfit LTTE and the map of a separate state of 'Tamil Eelam' was sold outside Hindu temples in London earlier this month.
The calendar, with a reddish sky and a rising sun in the background, depicts the map of 'Tamil Eelam' and a gloriosa lily -- the 'official flower' of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the Colombo Post reported on Tuesday.
While the writing on top says Thamil thai naalkaati (Tamil mother calendar) 2008, the bottom portion states "History of the Tamils, world history and a calendar that reflects the religious and astrological matters relating to Tamils," it said.
The 'Tamil Eelam national calendars' were publicly sold on the New Year's day in front of Hindu temples in London at the rate of five pounds to 10 pounds each, the report said. The LTTE has been proscribed by the European Union, the United States and India.
