21st May: Codename Dhanu ▪️ A fake narrative has been pushed by the Congress for a long time claiming that Rajiv Gandhi was martyred for the country, but it is completely false. That assassination was actually the result of a backfired misadventure. ▪️ The story begins in the 1980s. Tamilians were a minority in Sri Lanka, mainly settled in the northern part of the island - Jaffna. ▪️The majority of Sri Lanka’s population was Sinhalese, and a long-running ethnic struggle was going on between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. ▪️The leader of the Tamilians was V. Prabhakaran. ▪️The Congress had been out of power in Tamil Nadu for a long time and was keen to regain it. So Indira Gandhi began supporting Prabhakaran and the LTTE. ▪️Prabhakaran greatly admired and even worshipped Indira Gandhi. ▪️After Indira’s death, Rajiv Gandhi continued supporting Prabhakaran and his group, the LTTE. ▪️In June 1987, the Sri Lankan Army besieged the town of Jaffna. This led to large-scale civilian casualties and created a major problem for India. ▪️India feared a strong Tamil backlash at home. ▪️Rajiv Gandhi found himself caught between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE. ▪️On 29 July 1987, the Indo-Sri Lankan Accord was signed to end the violence in Jaffna and grant some powers to the Tamils. However, the LTTE was not made a party to the accord, which greatly angered Prabhakaran. ▪️When Rajiv Gandhi visited Sri Lanka, he was attacked by a Sri Lankan naval officer. ▪️Later, under pressure from the USA, Rajiv Gandhi sent the IPKF (Indian Peace Keeping Force) into Sri Lanka. This decision proved fatal for him. ▪️Heavy fighting broke out between the Indian Army and the LTTE, with casualties on both sides. ▪️The LTTE wanted revenge. On 21 May 1991, they sent their suicide bomber, codenamed Dhanu, who killed Rajiv Gandhi. ▪️Bhinderwale and Prabhakaran were both initially created or supported by the Congress to help the party gain power in Punjab and Tamil Nadu respectively. ▪️But both experiments turned into misadventures and eventually backfired. ▪️From 1982–87, a Sikh, Giani Zail Singh, was made President of India. From 1987–92, a Tamil, R. Venkataraman, was made President of India. ▪️Supporters of Bhinderwale and Prabhakaran both felt betrayed by Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. ▪️And those two unfortunate assassinations took place. ▪️The truth is that neither Indira nor Rajiv sacrificed their lives for the country. They both paid the price for their political misadventures aimed at securing power.

Today is #RajivGandhi’s 35th death anniversary. In March 2013 I became the first and till date, the only Indian journalist to visit the bunker of the man who ordered his assassination — LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran. I was then a reporter with IndiaToday magazine & granted rare access to the erstwhile LTTE-controlled northern region where thousands of LTTE fighters and civilians had died in the final phase of Eelam War IV in May 2009. We saw the exact spot, Nanthikadal, where Prabhakaran was gunned down by troops of the Sri Lankan Army’s 53rd division. Prabhakaran lay on his back on a patch of mud-soaked grass, eyes wide, his head blown open by a high-caliber weapon. The Lankan soldiers had shown Prabhakaran as much mercy as he had shown former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991. For someone who had followed India’s fascinating and bloody entanglement in Sri Lanka through India Today magazine, and the exclusives of Shekhar Gupta through the 1980s, this was a dream story. How did a print story become a TV exclusive ? I’ll admit to some journalistic sleight-of-hand here. The Sri Lankan authorities had cleared us to report a print story, but we also shot high-res video footage on DSLR (standard-issue for print photographers). The story eventually played across all India Today group properties— TV, Mail Today and the magazine. Five months after our story broke, the Sri Lankan army filled the bunker with explosives and destroyed it. (The Headlines Today story — don’t miss the TV panel at the end moderated by Rahul Kanwal— with Subramanian Swamy and G Parthasarathy).
