Karuna’s faction of TNA to support UPFA? - LankaTruth [05th April 2004]

All TNA candidates elected to Parliament representing the Eastern Province were invited for a discussion with Karuna Amman’s faction.

Accordingly, the discussion was held today in LTTE office in Batticaloa where four of the candidates were present and had discussions with Vishu, the political leader of Karuna’s faction of the tiger organization. The other candidate has not been able to be present as he had gone away on a personal matter.

Five TNA candidates were elected to the Parliament from the Eastern Province and all of them represent Karuna Amman’s faction of the tiger organization. Earlier a candidate was murdered by Prabhakaran’s faction of the tiger organization for his allegiance with Karuna’s faction and many others were threatened with death.

‘Lankatruth’ sources say that Karuna Amman’s faction of the TNA candidates elected to the Parliament have decided to support UPFA in the Parliament.
