An intra- party argument in the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) saw one of its leaders lodge a complaint with the Jaffna police.
TULF leader P. Sivasubramaniyam alleged party secretary, 84-year-old veteran Tamil politician V. Aanadasangaree, tried to physically attack him when on Friday he went to take part in a party meeting organised without his knowledge. He also alleged that though he is the leader of the TULF, the General Secretary is domineering and trying to control party affairs without giving any roles and responsibilities to other senior leaders.
During the recent local council elections, the TULF contested along with the Eelam People’s Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF), a breakaway group of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in the North East. It secured only a few seats.
When contacted, Mr. Aanadasangaree said it was only an argument.
Ajith Gallage, the owner of a Bird Park in Nagarawawa, Hambantota, has been remanded over allegations of concealing illegally imported motorcycles, in a warehouse owned by him.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
