The Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi

The following will explain the story behind Rajiv Gandhi's assassination to you in brief. Learn not HOW but WHY it happened. Dive into facts or maybe lies.

The first major attack by the LTTE’s was in July 1983 when they ambushed a Sri Lanka Army patrol and killed 13 soldiers. In response to that, nearly 3000 Sri Lankan Tamil civilians were killed all over Sri Lanka and more than 90,000 were displaced. After the growing violence and requests from Tamil Nadu, the Indian government decided to support the rebel group. With the help of RAW, they managed to give the LTTE adequate training. 32 camps had been installed in India to teach those 495 LTTE insurgents such as 90 ladies who had been educated in 10 batches.
Major Abhay Sapru tells how the first batch of Tigers were trained in Establishment 22 based in Chakrata, Uttarakhand. He also tells how so many of the members didn’t even know how to tie their shoes and the Indian army taught them all.
Dhanu, who assassinated Rajiv Gandhi and Sivarasan the conspirator, were among the militants trained by RAW, in Nainital, India. So ideally, the prime minister dug his own grave.
