[quote=sethu]LTTE Supporter Says LTTE Got Strong Connections in Norway Bandula Jayasekara in Colombo, SLT 8.15 P.M Monday 1 September. A Norwegian Tamil, Siva Adarsh says that several Tamils have got involved in politics in Norway and representing local councils in various parts of Norway and they were not elected only by Tamil votes but enjoy significant support of the Norwegian population. In responding to a news item that a strong LTTE supporter and a leader Balasingham alias Bhaskaran is planning to contest elections in Oslo from the Norwegian Labour Party, Adarsh says K. Sivarajah was elected from the Tromso Council representing the Leftist Party and T.Kuberan and Mrs. Sivanasan was elected to the Vardoe Council representing the Christian Democratic Party and Social Party and K. Sivarajah went on to contest the Norwegian general elections. Sivarajah is currently an advisor to the Norwegian Ministry of Fisheries Department. According to Siva Adarsh an ardent LTTE supporter, Sivarajah who is a Norwegian government servant is now awaiting eagerly to move to rebuild his homeland.
Political observers and the Norwegian Progressive Party has already questioned as to how a member of a listed terrorist organization in USA, Britain, Canada, Australia and India could stand as a Labour Party candidate in Norway, which is playing the role of the facilitator in the Sri Lankan peace process. Defending Balasingham his LTTE friend, Adarsh says that all those who represented Norwegian Councils are strong supporters of the liberation struggle and support the common objective to free their oppressed brothers and sisters from the occupying forces. By this statement Siva Adarsh confirms the Norwegian support for the LTTE and the allegations that there is an attempt to divide Sri Lanka and the role-played by Norway and the pressure put by the pro-LTTE lobby in Norway working and operating within the government of Norway. He says, " You should also be aware that the people who were chased away from their home country took refugee in Norway and other Western nations and perfectly settled down and learned their cultures and valuable technical skills and are currently occupying several government positions of those countries" The LTTE has a well-entrenched network in Norway encompassing fundraising to arms deals, money laundering, and narcotics trafficking in addition to usual false propaganda. Norway is also considered to be LTTE's European Head Quarters,
