Grenade attack targets TNA's youth politician from Jaffna islet
[TamilNet, Tuesday, 11 December 2012, 22:13 GMT]
A motorbike squad, allegedly operated by the SL military intelligence, on Monday lobbed a grenade on the house of Tamil National Alliance youth wing coordinator of Jaffna islets Mr Nishanthan. The attack took place around 9:00 p.m. targeting Nishanthan's house situated on Vyman Road, near Nalloor Kandasamy temple in Jaffna. The attack on Nishanthan comes after the occupying SL navy entered the house of TNA politician Anaimukan accusing him for tolling bells on Heroes Day in Kaarai-nakar (Kayts).
The youth politician said he narrowly escaped the attack as the grenade had hit a tree exploding outside the house.
Nishanthan had earlier defected the EDPD after exposing fraud in the administration of the EPDP controlled municipal council of Jaffna where he was an elected member.
Opposing the EPDP, the young politician from Veala'nai islet worked briefly with the SLFP Ankajan group and later started to work with the TNA, taking a lead role in mobilising the youth of the islet. Nishanthan is now the coordinator of the youth wing of the TNA in the islets.
The EPDP, which is controlling the islets with an iron fist, has been opposed to him. One of his associates has been recently reported missing.
