Bangalore: DV has proved right on Veerappan. As this is written it is over a month since film actor Rajkumar was kidnapped. Neither the all- powerful state and its police could catch the “sandalwood smuggler” nor could it solve the many problems caused to the people. Such is the helplessness of the state and the power of this lone ranger in the wild forests. DV has also proved right in saying that Veerappan has emerged as the supreme Tamil naitonalist leader. It is up to those concerned with the Tamil nationality question to take advantage of the forces released by Veerappan.
