SL presidential race brings violence between EPDP, TNA in Jaffna
A District Development Council (DDC) meeting, which was co-chaired by
Northern Provincial Council (NPC) Chief Minister C.V Wigneswaran and SL
Minister Douglas Devananda, ended in violence at Jaffna District
Secretariat on Tuesday, when the EPDP paramilitary leader Mr Devananda
faced objections from the NPC councillors of the TNA for turning the DDC
meeting a venue for Rajapaksa's election propaganda. The paramilitary
goons of the EPDP began to assault the TNA representatives who objected
the conduct of the EPDP leader at the meeting. EPDP goons assaulted
five TNA members, including NPC Ministers Aingaranesan and
Sathiyalingam. The EPDP has also claimed that five of its personnel had
sustained injuries in the violent episode.
Justice C.V. Wigneswaran, who addressed the press after the clash said the assault was a pre-determined deliberate move on the part of the EPDP which had brought in certain personalities with the intention of causing trouble at the meeting.
The EPDP leader who has been backing the SL president Mahinda Rajapaksa was reading a four page political address criticising the TNA and the NPC.
The EPDP has also been using the DDC meetings in Ki'linochchi district to wage a propaganda assault on the TNA.
