Key meeting between Wigneswaran, TNA NPC members postponed

A key meeting between Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran and Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Northern Provincial Council (NPC) members, which was to take place yesterday, has been postponed indefinitely.

The Jaffna media reported that no explanation was given for the postponement of the meeting or when it will take place.

The TNA NPC members had sought details from Wigneswaran on the newly-formed Tamil organisation chaired by Wigneswaran and the Chief Minister was expected to explain the policies of the organisation at this meeting.

The TNA NPC members had met Wigneswaran last week as well and pointed out to him the need to follow the TNA policies since he was elected to office through the TNA.

Wigneswaran has in the recent past gone against TNA policies and also joined hands with Jaffna-based politicians who work against the TNA and some TNA members and civil society members to form the Tamil People’s Council (TPC).

Meanwhile a crucial meeting will also be held on Thursday in Kilinochchi between the TNA Parliamentary group and TNA provincial council members of the North and East. (Colombo Gazette)
