In the wake of the deadlock in the resolution of the crisis in the Northern Provincial Council, following Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran and the TNA leadership hardening their opposite positions, some foreign emissaries had sought a compromise on the matter, the Daily Mirror reliably learns.

Earlier, TNA leader R. Sampanthan wrote to the Chief Minister asking him not to pursue action against two Provincial Council Ministers as they were not found guilty.

However, it is learnt that Mr. Wigneswaran had replied seeking a written assurance from the two Ministers that they would not interfere with further inquiries.

As a result, it is learnt that the problem remains unresolved.

Meanwhile 15 members, mostly belonging to Mr. Sampanthan's faction in the ITAK, submitted a No-Confidence Motion against the Chief Minister, while another 15 have handed over a letter to the Governor pledging their allegiance to the Chief Minister.

It is learnt that some embassies and high commissions in Colombo had requested the TNA leadership to settle the matter amicably. (Kelum Bandara)

Mr. Samanthan, please act fast to sack Wigneswaran, that is the right thing.

You better throw out Wigneswaran Sir, but at any circumstance don't replace Sivagilingam as he is a worst fellow than CM.

Don't worry Mr. Samanthan - send Wigneswaran home and request PM to deploy more Army personal in Jaffna, things will subside.

Atha Kiyana Kaputta Monday, 19 June 2017 08:11 AM

Wigneswaran will you please pack your bags and get out, other-wise, PM will send BBS Gen. Secretary to deal with you.

Remote control of Mr.Sumanthiran and Mr.Sampanthan is the government of Sri Lanka though they were elected by the people.
