Former Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP and Spokesperson Suresh Premachandran said that TNA Leader R. Sampanthan’s actions and decisions are questionable.

He made this observation at a press conference in Jaffna, replying to a question raised by a journalist.

Premachandran further said that army should be removed from Northern and Eastern Provinces and people should be resettled. Political prisoners should be released, he demanded.

“Sampanthan’s position is not clear in recent times. The President and the Prime Minister state that they would provide us a unified solution. They state that amalgamation of North and East will not happen. However, what we asked for was a federal solution unifying two provinces. Sampanthan’s standpoint is different from Prime Minister’s, hence we need to negotiate with the government”, Premachandran stated.

Reacting to Premachandran’s statement, Sampanthan had stated that he is ‘fishing in troubled waters’ thus should not be given much consideration to his such statements.
