TNA divides, Sri Lankan Tamil parties to form a new alliance

June 14, Colombo: Following the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has divided into two groups, sources confirmed.

According to reliable sources, a group of TNA parliamentarians will act as an independent group in Parliament in the future.

Reportedly, the new group will hold discussions with the Eelam People’s Democratic Party (EPDP) and the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) to form a new alliance in Parliament.

However, the members of the new group have not been revealed to the media yet.

The TNA, one of the main political groups representing the Tamil community in Sri Lanka, has been accused by various other groups of being a mouthpiece of the LTTE.
