The biggest mistake that Prabhakaran made was to kill Rajiv Gandhi: Mahinda Rajapaksa
•SG: Hello and welcome to Walk the Talk. I am Shekhar Gupta in Colombo’s Presidential Palace and my guest once again President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
....
•SG: what is the biggest mistake that Prabhakaran made in this.
MR: Well, to kill Rajiv Gandhi.
•SG: To kill Rajiv Gandhi.
MR: That was…
•SG: Why? Why?
MR: because they antagonised the whole sympathy of India. That was the biggest mistake, I think, he did at that time.
•SG: That is the biggest mistake he did in thirty years.
MR: Thirty years.
•SG: One…
MR: and two…
•SG: One fatal mistake.
MR: Yes, and the second was that he didn’t gauge the powers of the South.
•SG: To my mind there is a third mistake also. I think, and maybe, all mistakes from one mind-set, which is hubris, which is a big ego. You know, no guerilla fighter should try to take on a whole country’s armed forces in a frontal battle.
MR: I agree.
•SG: Or to hold cities. Or territory.
MR: That’s right, and that was another mistake that he made.
