As the much anticipated talks with the government had failed the five main political parties that are grouped together under the TNA are contemplating to register with the TNA as a political party, with the commissioner of elections, MP Suresh Premachandran said in Vavuniya.

He also said the Ilangai Thamil Arasu Kachchi, Tamil United Liberation Front, TELO, PLOTTE, and EPRLF came under the umbrella of the TNA and were engaged in political activities, however they had not registered themselves as the Tamil National Alliance.

These opinions were expressed by the MP at a Press meeting held in Vavuniya to appraise the media about the political future of the TNA.

He further said they strongly opposed the proposal made by the government in establishing a Senate for the administration of the north and east, and they would take steps to hold a general convention in a location in the north east area in March after strengthening the party.

The TNA MP for the Wanni District S. Adaikkalanathan who was present at this occasion said the government had not announced the position regarding the elections to the north east provincial councils and therefore they were not ready for elections. Even though opportunities were provided on and off for the TNA to meet international representatives, it was very unjustifiable that they were never invited as participants at the discussions the government had with these international representatives.

After registering the TNA as a political party they would strive with much force to stand up to safeguard the rights of the people of the north and east, he added. (Romesh Madusanka)

North and East should be treated just like other provinces and no special status given to only these two regions. Let democracy rule and eliminate racist politicians demanding special rights and powers.

TNA is a Virus for Sri Lanka. They all trying to make another 83 or 56 and gave birth to another LTTE. End of the day innocent Tamils will have to suffer and these TNA idiots could go around the world saying all the fabricated stories and enjoy their lives. This TNA is more dangerous than LTTE, I guess.

Fighting for rights is not racist politics. Democracy should give equal rights for all.

Wara Tuesday, 24 January 2012 06:29 AM

Fighting for rights?? Which right are not having, which only Sinhalese enjoy ?? TNA has given understand to North and East people that poverty is only for Tamils. But actually All the issues TNA talk are common to all ethnics.

Mate, it is society that creates separatists, terrorists, guerillas, freedom fighters or whatever you call them. When your son complains, listen to him compassionately and honestly help him, don’t slap him each time he complains, because one day he is going to slap you back and that is when it is too late.

Ruwan Tuesday, 24 January 2012 07:12 AM

can you tell me what are the rights that have been deprived? These are problems created by the politicians for their own agendas!

Lanke Banda Tuesday, 24 January 2012 07:24 AM

No comments as you have hit the nail .

How Can they do if GOSL solve the issue one for all?

bryan Tuesday, 24 January 2012 08:04 AM

It will be another big blunder to allow TNA to function, we don't want this LTTE to grow with umbrella groups and start bombing the nation, DESTROY the buggers now, get rid of this bastards especially Sampanthan and Rinil wickremasinghe the LTTE coordinator in colombo. Gothabaya don't let these buggers to operate please for God's sake Eliminate them now,

siraj Tuesday, 24 January 2012 08:26 AM

Sri Lankan politicians of all races especially those who have ruled us are the most dangerous off all, not Tamils or Singalese. Get rid of those idiots who were responsible for ethnic riots against tamils, that commenced in 1958( there was not LTTE at that time)

Kc Tuesday, 24 January 2012 08:45 AM

Can a Tamil or Muslim become the president of this country? Answer is a big no. Even Laxman Kathirgamar could not become even the prime minister..... Let Sinhalese govern the south, Tamils govern north in a united country - that's what the TNA is asking for.

TNA also same like JVP.
