Karuna forms a new party; Tiger name dropped
SRI LANKA- The simmering crisis between Karuna and Pillaiyan loyalists of the Tamil People’s Liberation Tigers (TMVP) has paved way to the formation of a new party by Karuna Amman in the Tamil Makkal Liberation Alliance (Thamil Makkal Viduthalai Koddani alias TMVK).
The significance of the new party is the shedding of Tiger name. Pillaiyan registered the TMVP while Karuna was in custody in UK. Although Karuna was named as the leader of the party, he had no official power in TMVP. TMVP chairman was Raghu who was recently assassinated at Athurugiriya. After that Karuna and his loyalists wanted him to be appointed as the Chairman of the party, but the Pillaiyan group opposed the move.-Lanka-e-News,
