The ITAK is willing to absorb the rehabilitated former militants into mainstream politics, Leader of the ITAK and Parliamentarian Mavai Senathirajah said.<\/p>\n
He said this at the TNA May Day rally held in Alayadivembu Dharmasangari playground in Ampara.<\/p>\n
Mr. Senathirajah said that the former militants had collectively formed a new party and since they had been rehabilitated, the ITAK wished to absorb them into democratic politics.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that the TNA made a public announcement during the last EPC elections that their cooperation would be extended to elect a Muslim Member as the Chief Minister, the Muslims failed to comply with. We made the announcement as a gesture of goodwill to lay the platform to a merged North-East. The TNA was voicing against repressive measures and injustice and was fighting for the legitimate rights of the Tamils, he said.<\/p>\n
ITAK Leader said that the TNA was making all possible efforts to evolve a political solution to the Tamils and was also determined to attain the objective of a merged North-East.<\/p>\n
“The Tamils cautiously worked to defeat Mahinda Rajapakse and form a new government and as a result the new government headed by Maithripala Sirisena is wielding power now.<\/p>\n
Thanthai Chelva launched peaceful protests then to win over our legitimate rights. Thereafter, an armed conflict took place and the TNA was working hard now to evolve a solution democratically. Our strength is your valuable votes. Hence, the TNA is working towards evolving a solution with the strength of your votes and with support and assistance from the international community, Parliamentarian Senathirajah said.<\/p>\n
