Sri Lanka would hand over LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran to India if he was apprehended if New Delhi made such a request, President Mahinda Rajapakse has said.
"If they ask for him, I will send him there. ... Why not? He has killed so many people. If India wants him, certainly I will send him to India," the Sri Lankan President told NDTV's 'Walk the Talk' programme.
"On request from them (Indian authorities), I will do whatever they want," Rajapakse said.
He maintained that Prabhakaran, who is accused of being behind the assassination of former Premier Rajiv Gandhi, would not be granted pardon by India.
He said LTTE would not agree to any compromise for a peaceful resolution of the ethnic issue afflicting Sri Lanka.
