SELVAM ADAIKALANATHAN
The leader of the Tamil Eelam Liberation Movement (TELO), Selvam Adaikalanathan, has decided to resign from his post.
He said the decision was taken over a dispute on the appointments of provincial ministerial posts for the Tamil National Alliance (TNA).
The TNA had over the past few days, failed to reach a consensus on selecting ministers for the Northern Provincial Council.
Attempts were made to allocate ministerial posts to all the constituent parties in the TNA including TELO.
However Adaikalanathan said that it was later decided at these meetings not to allocate a ministerial post to a member of TELO.
He said that the decision was seen as a betrayal to the TELO supporters who backed the party at the last provincial polls.
As a result he had decided to resign from his post as TELO leader. (Colombo Gazette)
