TN students threaten to 'unmask' Wigneswaran

The Student Movement of Tamil Nadu yesterday threatened to unmask former Supreme Court Justice, C.V. Wigneswaran, soon.

"He is joining the Sri Lankan Government to set up a united Sri Lanka, whereas the Tamils want an Eelam," one of the students told Ceylon Today. The Students Movement also alleged, the man who says he will get justice to the Tamils, has now joined the government to work for them as a kooli.

"We will unmask him and let the world know who he is. In the similar way we have politically destroyed DMK Chief M.K. Karunanidhi, we will destroy whoever becomes the Chief Minister of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka," one protester said in anger.

"If you want a separate State, you should not go for a PC election and if they do it, it's an injustice to the Tamils," he added.

Another student queried, "Is it for a man like Wigneswaran the Tamils sacrificed their lives?" The students also alleged the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) will try to 'unite Sri Lanka,' if they win the forthcoming NPC elections.

The students are also expected to hold a 325-kilometre long cycle protest, in a bid to protest against holding the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2013) in Sri Lanka and to collect funds to support the Sri Lankan refugee students in Tamil Nadu, with students parading in nearly 1,000 cycles starting from Trichy and ending in Chennai from 13 to 23 September.

The Indian student movement recently held a protest against the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka and calling on the Commonwealth Secretariat to change the venue and hold the CHOGM elsewhere.
