The Channel 4 documentary that apparently contained 12 visuals of slain LTTE chief Prabhakaran's son has reportedly been triggering a wide range discussions among political circles. Even as Sri Lankan army coming forth before the media and stating that they were lies and numerous forms of speculations, emotions are reportedly running high in many parts of Tamil Nadu. In fact, chief minister Jayalalitha herself said in a statement that the assassination of 12-year-old Balachandran Prabhakaran as against the ethics of war. She even urged India to make a resolution against Sri Lanka over the same.

The documentary that was shot by Channel 4 was supposed to be aired at UN Human Rights Council. Some of the visuals of this documentary allegedly shows Balachandran as sitting in a bunker and eating snacks while another picture (shot a few hours later) shows Balachandran lying dead on the floor with bullet piercings in his chest.

Nonetheless, Sri Lankan army has reiterated that the visuals of this boy were morphed and thus denied the allegations. Anyway, it looks like the documentary is apparently going to make Jayalalitha government exert pressure over resolution.
