TULF Leader V. Anandasangaree has demanded the resignation of all Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MPs from Parliament for having represented the now defeated LTTE, locally and internationally.
"Such persons should no longer represent the Tamil community, and they should now resign and go home", he has told the media.
The Tamil National Alliance is the proxy political party of the LTTE. It was formed as an amalgamation of moderate Tamil political parties as well as a number of former rebel groups. The TNA members contested in the 2004 Parliamentary elections in the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kadchchi and subsequently they called themselves as Tamil National Alliance.
Noting that the TNA has told an Indian delegation that was in Sri Lanka recently that it was agreeable to a political solution, the TULF leader Anandasangaree said such a stance by them previously could have saved the lives of all Tamils in the North.Asked what the Tamil community had gained by the TNA acting as stooges of the LTTE, Anandasangaree vehemently replied, “Nothing”.
