He made this remark while responding to queries whether there would be a leadership change in the party, as speculated by some websites.

National Freedom Front leader Wimal Weerawansa said that reconciliation cannot be promoted by commemorating the LTTE.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, he said that the LTTE was commemorated in the University of Jaffna where the map of the self-proclaimed Tamil Eelam was displayed.

While the people in the north are given the chance to commemorate the LTTE, the people of the south are not given a chance to commemorate the victory over terrorism, Weerawansa complained.
