The Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) has demanded the implementation of the 13th amendment soon after the General Elections and has also rejected the Oslo Declaration, party officials said today.

TMVP Spokesperson Azath Maulana told Daily Mirror online that the party’s main election policy mentioned in its manifesto was the implementation of the 13th Amendment and the TMVP’s rejection of the Oslo Declaration.

Maulana quoted Eastern Province Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakantha as stating that he would hold discussions with the government soon, to implement the 13th amendment soon after the polls.

“We have already informed India the importance of implementing the 13th amendment. India has also agreed with us and said they will support us,” Mr. Maulana said.

Chief Minister Chandrakanthan held talks with Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao on Monday during the latter’s two day visit to the country.

Following the discussion, Chandrakanthan said that he would head for New Delhi to hold talks with the Indian government soon after the polls.

The TMVP also presented its election manifesto to Rao during the meeting.

I see what you are saying. Yes this man wants the 13th Amendment. They wake up suddenly.
With regard to the churches, hindu temples and mosque, you need to give the govt sometime. They have just got the LTTE out who did the damage and there are still pockets of them to finish off. Govt cannot do magic and you must realise that.

Good Question!

Many talk of 13th Amendment. How many have read and understood that piece of paper.

I agree with President, We need complete new set of constitution.
