LTTE White Pigeon mega star event a complete failure in London
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) front, White Pigeon organized “Mega Star “ event held on 12 January evening, became a heavy disappointment for the organization when only 2000 instead of the expected 10,000 converged to London’s Alexandra Palace where the “Thai Pongal” festival was held.
At the last moment organizers were trying to sell high prized tickets for 10 pounds to fill the rows and rows of empty seats that were not very common during the “glorious” days of the LTTE in London.
The hall was filled to the brim when the LTTE hired the expensive meeting place last time to hold the funeral of the late Anton Balasingham many months ago.
“Many did not want to go for the show when they heard that many South Indian stars have decided not to attend the show because of its LTTE ties,” said a Sri Lankan Tamil resident of Kingsbury describing the poor attendance of the well advertised event by pro-LTTE Television and newspapers in London .
