Rajasingam Jeyadevan, popularly known as 'Undiyalaan' has
embarked on a vicious campaign against Tamil and English
language media networks that question financial
irregularities at a London temple, sources said.
Undiyalaan has developed a notorious habit of labelling any
media network that questions financial irregularities at the
Eelapatheeswarar Hindu temple in north-west London as being a
proxy of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
According to Undiyalaan, any Tamil who wishes to know where
money from the undiyal –money box- at the temple is heading
is an intelligence agent of the LTTE.
Undiyalaan, who was a long time supporter of the LTTE, turned
against the organisation when they asked him not to steal
money from a religious institution, sources from the United
Kingdom said.
His continued attempts to bribe the LTTE even landed him
under custody in the de-facto state of Tamil Eelam.
Since his return from Sri Lanka, Undiyalaan has been hiding
under the banner of democracy to prevent investigations into
the temple funds, UK sources added.
Undiyalaan by appointing himself as leader of the Tamil
Democratic Congress (TDC) a group founded by Undiyalaan
himself in November 2005, and by releasing a few anti LTTE
comments has attempted to portray anyone who questions his
criminal activities as members of the LTTE.
Undiyalaan has been on a venomous campaign against the
Nitharsanam.com Tamil language news website which was one of
the first to report on financial irregularities at the above
mentioned temple.
After numerous failed attempts to get the website banned by
concocting claims against it, Undiyalaan has now turned his
attention to include the English language Sibernews.com as
well.
If one is to follow Undiyalaan's line of thinking, no media
network should ever question exploitation of the Tamil
community residing in the west. According to him no media
station should condemn the paramilitaries who are hell bent
on destroying the peace process on the island of Sri Lanka.
If any media network does so, then it is operated by the
LTTE.
Undiyalaan has also personally targeted Oslo based bilingual
journalist Nadarajah Sethurupan. He continues to claim that
Mr. Sethurupan is working directly under the LTTE.
When contacted by this reporter Mr Sethurupan dismissed
Undiyalaan's allegation as being false propaganda with the
sole aim of discrediting him as a professional journalist.
Mr Sethurupan said that he is a registered bi-lingual
journalist who writes for Oslo Voice and other international
media networks on his specialist area of Sri Lankan politics.
He also dismissed baseless allegations that he is a member of
the LTTE, and re-emphasised that he had not travelled to the
LTTE administered areas of Sri Lanka for several years. He
also stressed the fact that unlike Undiyalaan, he was never a
supporter of the LTTE.
'Mr Jeyadevan has a personal vendetta against me. I take a
special interest in Tamil affairs in Europe, and had thus
reported on the missing millions at the Eelapatheeswarar
temple where Jeyadevan was chairman. One has to bear in mind
that this happened when Mr Jeyadevan was an established
supporter of the LTTE. Long before he went to Vanni and
returned with anti-LTTE views, I was involved in exposing
him. His claims that I only began writing about him after he
expressed anti-LTTE views is a calculated lie,' said Mr
Sethurupan.
What is clear from Mr Sethurupan's interview to this reporter
is that Undiyalaan is hiding several issues related to
finances at the above-mentioned temple. He has also embarked
on a campaign to label any media that question financial
irregularities as agents of the LTTE. He has not spared
professional journalists from this campaign either.
The best thing for Undiyalaan to do would be to attempt to
prove the media reports to be wrong, rather than to allege
the media as being proxies of the LTTE. If Mr Jeyadevan had
not stolen from the temple, then he could simply publish the
accounts and clear the issue.
For as long as Mr Jeyadevan remains silent on the issue of
accounts, and attempts to cover up his crime with a banner of
democracy, reports that expose him will continue to be
published.
