LTTE leaders will meet 14 Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarians at their office in Kilinochchi for important political discussions today. According to TNA sources, this follows last week's deadlock over the inauguration of the newly rebuilt Jaffna Library.

The Jaffna Municipal Council's decision to open the library came under strong protest from the LTTE, forcing an indefinite postponement of the event.

Except TULF President V. Anandsangari, who is on a visit to Austria, all other TNA MPs (14) would be leaving for Kilinochchi this morning from Vavuniya for their scheduled meeting with the LTTE leaders, TULF sources said.

Meanwhile, a dispirited Ex-Jaffna Mayor Sellan Kandiah who initiated arrangements for the inaugural event told the "Sunday Observer" that they wanted to declare open the library on February 12, one day prior to the term of office of the MC since the reconstruction work was almost completed. French Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Renaud Muselier, during his recent visit to Jaffna had also promised a French language and cultural unit in the library after its inauguration, others, including foreign donors, had promised assistance to fully equip the library once inaugurated.
