Talking to CNN-IBN, he said that Rajiv’s assassination was “well planned and done actually with Prabhakaran and LTTE intelligence chief Pottu Amman. Everyone knows the truth.”
 
Pathmanathan, who was Treasurer of the LTTE and its chief arms procurer, said: “I want to say to the Indian people and especially to the Gandhi family…I want to apologise for Prabhakaran’s mistake. Please forgive us. We beg you….Sorry for all this. We know the feelings of the son (Rahul) of Rajiv Gandhi….How father and daughter are attached (reference to Rajiv’s daughter Priyanka).”

He said Tamils in Sri Lanka should be helped to live as humans as “we have already paid a high price. We don’t have anything to lose.”
