It is not only a privilege but also a moral and political imperative for me as a Tamil and as the Prime Minister of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) to write this letter stating Mr. M. K. Kanagendran’s service to the Tamil nation at large and to the TGTE in particular.
Mr. Kanagendran (a.k.a M. K. Eelaventhan) has been an elected member of the TGTE since its inception on May 18, 2010. He participates in each and every Parliamentary sitting and committee meeting.
The TGTE is a democratically elected Transnational Government of a million strong Tamils (from the island of Sri Lanka) living in several countries around the world. TGTE was formed after the mass killing of Tamils by the Sri Lankan Government in 2009.
