Anandasangaree ready to support Tamil People?s Council
04 Jan, 2016
Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) Secretary General V?Anandasangaree says?he is ready to give his?full support to the Tamil People?s Council if it converts into a political party.
He says?If the intended alliance led by Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran had turned out to be a new political party he would have?welcomed it as an ideal achievement.
“But even today a satisfactory situation did not develop. An opportunity is given to various people to say that the new organisation will work in coordination with the TNA. Some say that it will not oppose it but will only function in support of it. Such statements appearing in various media has caused a lot of confusion in the minds of the common people. If this is true it will not only prove useless and will not give any benefit but only prevent anyone from finding alternate means,” he said.
Anandasangaree also noted that the Tamil People?s Council has said it will frame a good constitution for Sri Lanka. But he says it is doubtful whether it will be acceptable to the Government.
“In the past various proposals had been placed before the Constitutional Councils many times. Most of them had been rejected by the respective councils,” he said.
Northern Province Chief Minister C V Wigneswaran was recently appointed as the head of the new organisation comprising Tamil politicians and civil society members.
The main committee in the ?Tamil People?s Council? includes Tamil National Alliance members Dharmalingham Sidharthan and Suresh Premachandran and Tamil National People?s Front leader Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam. (Colombo Gazette)
