Veerappan Encountered

The final full stop for a man who lived & frightened the governments for last 20 years. This column is not to praise Munusamy Veerappan (now infamouse sandalwood smuggler) or any of his activities, nor I am a pro "tamil" liberation front supporter (I was years ago, and still can come back to the same, if the situation requires for that) or a journalist friend.

The intriguing nature of Veerappan is his knowledge about forests, birds, animals and other things. He might have been a great ornithologist or someone who can give an understanding of interacting with animals.

You may argue, that, he is a kidnapper, money monker, terriorist & smuggler. Accepted. But to 160 villages in & around, dharmapuri & TN-Karnataka border, he is god. Numerous human rights cases are pending against the Special Task Force on rape, evacuation & brutal murders.

Last note, What they killed is not one smuggler, but a whole bunch of truths about how an individual with political & extremist attitude can certainly terrorise & threaten the states. It's a relief to so many politicians, that they can check their BP levles being reduced by tomorrow.
