Pillaiyan and KarunaMoves are afoot to patch up the difffernces between V.Muralitharan, alias Karuna Amman, leader of the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal and his commander Pilliyan. The go-betweens are urging them to come to some working arrangement where they can work together.
The current move is to keep Karuna Amman as the overall leader of the TMVP in charge of the political activities of his outfit. Pilliyan is to be formally anounced as the deputy leader of TMVP and he will be in charge of the military wing of the TMVP. Under this arrangement Pilliyan will be in complete charge of all military activities. He will be given complete authority to take whatever decisions that are needed to run the military wing of the TMVP. But sources suggest that it would be necessary for Pilliyan to consult with TMVP leader while taking any important decisions.
It has also been suggested that those commanders involved in the killings of the TMVP cadres should be disarmed and allowed to work in the political division of the outfit.
Asian Tribune learns that secret negotiations are going on and both the feuding leaders have agreed to abide by the decisions reached by the negotiators.
In the meantime Asian Tribune learns that Sri Lanka Army is closely watching both factions to avoid any spillover of any serious fighting between the two parties in the government control area.
According to the latest information Pilliyan and his men are still waiting, hoping that common sense would prevail and a satisfactory solution would be reached soon to avoid another fratricidal war similar to that 2004 Good Friday incident in which more than 175 Karuna’s cadres were mowed down by the rampaging LTTE cadres and brought the east under the control.
