Karuna and Pillayan
Firing up the east over
Karuna-Pillayan battle
By Dashrath
The putsch within the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) came out in to the open last week in the wake of a controversial statement made by its Leader V. Muralitharan alias Karuna at Temple Trees last Tuesday (21).
TMVP Leader and newly elected Parliamentarian Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman had said last Tuesday that there was no necessity for police powers to the Eastern Province and what was needed was development. This statement had surprised the TMVP, which said that all powers should be devolved at provincial level.
This resulted in the TMVP General Secretary E. Kaileswararaja writing to Karuna, demanding an explanation as to why he had made that statement when the party he leads has a different view.
On Friday, October 17, Karuna loyalists reportedly barged into the TMVP head office, Meenagam and the adjoining press down Govindan Road, Batticaloa and had taken over the place while 'arresting' a few Pillayan supporters.
