Anandasangari ready to support LTTE, TNA yet to decide on symbol

President of the Tamil United Liberation Front V. Anandasangari has said that he is ready to lead a campaign at the forthcoming general election in support of LTTE candidates. However he has said that before supporting the LTTE, the present office bearers of the party should resign. He told this during an executive committee meeting held at the party office in Colombo today morning.
Even though some members of the party are currently thinking over Anandasangari’s suggestion, however sources told the Lanka Academic that it was very unlikely that all of the present office bearers would willingly resign from their party posts.
Meanwhile the Tamil National Alliance, which secured 15 seats at the parliamentary general election, is yet to decide their party’s symbol to contest the election on April 2. Even though at the last election they contested under the rising sun symbol, which belongs to the Tamil United Liberation Front, the crisis between the Front’s President Anandasangari and General Secretary R. Sambandan, which has led to a court battle, has prevented them from using the rising sun symbol.
The Tamil United Liberation Front, All Ceylon Tamil Congress, Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization and Eelam Peoples Revolutionary Liberation Front are the constituents of the Tamil National Alliance.
