Tiger Leader Wants TNA MPs to Return and Vote Against Budget

TAMIL NATIONAL ALLIANCE (TNA) parliamentarians have been ordered to be back in Sri Lanka and be present today in Parliament to vote against President Mahinda Rajapaksa's Budget 2008.

Sources in Wanni said urgent messages have been sent to five TNA Members of Parliament who are away from the country to return immediately and vote at the Budget to bring down the Government by all means.

Sources revealed that LTTE leader Velupillai Prabakaran has personally instructed the political division of the outfit to dispatch urgent messages to the five TNA Parliament Members, who are overseas, to return to Sri Lanka before today and vote against the budget and defeat the Government.

Sources added that he has instructed to send this message that in case the Government remains in power, there is likelihood that the military will advance into Kilinochchi and Mullaithivu.

To stop the military advance, Prabhakaran\'s only option is to defeat the Government in the Budget, they said. Asian Tribune (Courtesy: Daily News)
