Woman claiming to be Prabhakaran’s daughter emerges on video

In a surprising turn of events, a video has surfaced on social media featuring a woman who identifies herself as Dwaraka, claiming to be the daughter of the late Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief, Velupillai Prabhakaran. The video was streamed on the web portal ‘tamiloli.net’ on Monday, coinciding with Maveerar Naal (Heroes Day), an occasion observed by the LTTE. The woman, dressed in a saree, declared her commitment to continuing the struggle for the “political freedom” of Sri Lankan Tamils. The emergence of this video comes 14 years after the Sri Lankan military officially declared Prabhakaran and his family dead during the conclusive days of the war at Mullivaikkal in 2009. In the 12-minute speech delivered in Sri Lankan Tamil, the woman expressed resilience in overcoming numerous difficulties and betrayals. She expressed her aspiration to visit Eelam one day, emphasizing her desire to serve her people. The video sheds light on the woman’s perspective on the final phase of the war, alleging that the Sinhala government collaborated with powerful nations, unable to face the LTTE alone. The reappearance of someone claiming to be Prabhakaran’s daughter raises questions about the circumstances surrounding the declaration of their deaths by the Sri Lankan military. The video adds a new dimension to the historical narrative of the conflict and the fate of Prabhakaran’s family.
