India's supported and does support BLA, TTP and LTTE.

India used to support LTTE a long time back(during Indira Gandhi's tenure). Rajiv Gandhi reversed all that. By 2009, India was actually proactively helping the Sri Lankan government to take down LTTE.

While India probably still supports BLA, there is no credible source that points towards India's support of TTP.

Latif Mehsud, the chief spokesman of the group, admitted that they had received support from both Afghanistan and India.

And whatever Latif Mehsud says is credible?

Is that why the LTTE killed the Indian Prime Minister?

I don't know why a terrorist group did anything but based on the source below, RAW, the Indian Spy Agency actively trained and provided arms to LTTE and various other terrorist groups.
