Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Karunanidhi said that the LTTE had not considered the future prospects when they planned out their war strategy. Sighting the call of the LTTE to boycott the 2005 presidential elections in Srilanka, Mr Karunanidhi said that the election saw that SLFP leader Mahinda Rajapaksa had defeated UNP leader Ranil Wickramasinghe by a margin of about 1.81 lakh votes and that seven lakh Tamils in Sri Lanka did not cast their votes.“Who would know our silent pain while we reflect over the outcomes of the hasty political action?” said Mr Karunanidhi. He was responding to a question regarding the recent interview that Mr Wickramasinghe had given to a tamil journal.
