TULF’s
Anandasangaree awaits correct time to save the party "I do not want to get into controversies", said the veteran Tamil politician who has been the chief target of the LTTE after he opted to contest independently refusing to obey the LTTE agenda for the Tamil National Alliance. Mr. Anandasangaree who last week sent a courteous refusal to the Jathika Hela Urumaya declining its offer to him of a slot in its National List, told The Sunday Times that he would not give up his political struggle 'just because the LTTE prevented the Jaffna Tamil people from voting for me'. He accused the TNA of not having got a mandate from the people adding that the TNA has no moral right to sit in Parliament."They only got their seats because the LTTE helped them by planning out mass scale impersonation and every possible kind of election malpractice", he said. He did not opt to comment on the stand he would take in the TNA split between the Karuna supporters and the pro-Prabhakaran TNA faction saying that 'it was too soon for him to take a stand'. "I will not put my party in jeopardy by careless decisions. That is why I refused, although I was honoured, to have been offered a seat in the JHU", he said pointing out that the mere obtaining of a Parliamentary seat was not his goal but he wanted to 'show the Tamil masses true liberation that is not terrorism'. |
