Former LTTE Members Denounce Eelam and Enter Politics, though rejected by TNA
Former LTTE Members Denounce Eelam | The Sunday Leader: “However, when we approached the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), they refused to allow ex-LTTE cadres to contest under their ticket as they were concerned about their political image. Therefore, we decided to contest independently,” he added.
According to Vithyatharan, the reason why they approached the TNA was because the TNA too has denounced violence and Eelam objectives.
“Even though we respect Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam’s All Ceylon Tamil Congress, we did not approach his party as our position does not comply with theirs,” he said. Further, Vithyatharan said that Crusaders for Democracy has also extended an invitation to Northern Provincial Council member Ananthi Sasitharan to join their front.
