The Canadian Tamil Congress applauds the choice of C. V. Wigneswaran as TNA' s Chief Minister candidate
The Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC) is delighted at the choice of former justice C. V. Wigneswaran as the Chief Minister candidate of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) for the Northern Province in the upcoming Provincial Council election.
From his beginnings as a prominent Tamil lawyer, to his position as a Supreme Court judge, and now as a politician, Justice Wigneswaran brings a number of years of judicial experience. His expertise in the field of constitutional law and his ability to articulate local issues, as well as connect to Tamils everywhere, means his candidacy is unmatched by his opponents.
In addition to being an excellent judge, Justice Wigneswaran is an ardent advocate of many of the issues faced by Tamils and CTC is confident that his candidacy will help the TNA win a strong mandate in the upcoming Northern Provincial election. "As the Chief Minister candidate of the TNA, we could not have asked for a better person," said David Poopalapillai, National Spokesperson for the Canadian Tamil Congress. "Under the TNA and Justice Wigneswaran's leadership, we are very confident that both will emerge victorious in the September elections, so long as the elections remain a fair and democratic process."
CTC urges the Tamil population in the North to exercise their democratic right and take part in the September election, to send a decisive and unambiguous message to the Sri Lankan government and the international community. We also urge Tamils in every part of the world to show their support, in any form possible, for Justice Wigneswaran's candidacy and the victory of the TNA.
