House of Commons debate Lord Naseby criticises TGTE

• It espouses an ideology almost identical to that of the LTTE 

Taking part in the House of Commons debate on the Global Human Rights Sanctions and Regulations 2020, Lord Naseby criticized the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) which is proscribed in Sri Lanka.  

He was critical of Adele Balasingham, the widow of LTTE theoretician Anton Balasingham.  

Lord Naseby said, “My Lords, I have no problem at all with the financial aspects of this SI. I think there is a big challenge with individuals and human rights; I remember Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Assad, all of whose communities we interfered in at huge human cost to those communities. I want to focus, though, sadly, on the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers, the LTTE, which we proscribed in 2001. It was succeeded by the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE), which itself is proscribed in Sri Lanka.
