TMVP against re-merge

7 November 2010 09:30 am

The TMVP, as an ally of the Tamil Political Parties Forum (PTTF), has opposed the proposal to re-merge the Northern and Eastern Provinces despite all the other political entities in the Forum being in favour of it.

The forum consists of ten Tamil parties such as the EPDP, EPRLF (Pathmanabha) Group, PLOTE and the Tamil National Liberation Alliance (TNLA)

TNLA General Secretary, M.K. Sivajilingam said that the forum would find it difficult to reach consensus on this issue as a result. (KB)
