Opposing communal politics - Gajen

Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam

The Tamil National People's Front (TNPF) led by former parliamentarian Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam, grandson of the Tamil leader G.G.Ponnambalam - the founder of the oldest Tamil political party in Sri Lanka, the All Ceylon Tamil Congress (ACTC) will oppose any communal hardline politics during the parliamentary election campaign.

Ponnambalam told the Sunday Observer that Sri Lanka is a multi-national country belonging to all communities and the party would promote the recognition of this concept by all political parties and stake holders, and would stand opposed against the notion of communal hardliners that the country belongs only to the Sinhala Buddhists.

TNPF will field candidates in all electoral districts in the North and East, he said.
