TMVP accepts Karuna as Leader

Following a crucial politburo meeting and amidst conflicting reports regarding a leadership struggle the TMVP yesterday re-affirmed that Karuna Amman was their leader and present Chief Minister of East Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan was its deputy leader.

TMVP spokesman Azath Moulana told the Daily News yesterday

that the recent media frenzy about a rift within the party since the arrival of Karuna Amman was without basis and the story was the result of an LTTE attempt to create a wrong impression among the public.

TMVP leader Karuna Amman who was deported by British authorities following a short jail term for violating immigration regulations in UK returned to the island recently.

Moulana added that there was no dispute regarding the Chief Minister’s position in the East and the present Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan would continue to hold the post until the end of his term.

He said during Saturday’s meeting where all 13 members took part the politburo had discussed at length the current political trends and the TMVP’s future plans.
