A pro-LTTE Tamil Nadu party has filed a petition in the Madras High Court seeking a ban on the Tamil film 'Prabhakaran' made in Sri Lanka, falsely alleging that it denigrated Tamil people.
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi party leader Thol Thirumavalavan, after filing the petition, told reporters, "Though named after the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, the film denigrates the entire Tamil race."
The Indian Government banned the LTTE following its role in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.The Opposition in Tamil Nadu has accused the State government of being soft on the LTTE.
