TNA’s Bid To Remove NPC Chief Wiggie Continues As He Says No Sri Lankan Judge Will Ever Find Fault With Military

September 11, 2015

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) alliance is making plans to remove its own nominee C.V. Wigneswaran as the chief minister of Northern Provincial council.

A majority of TNA members according to a provincial council member are currently discussing ways and means of removing the chief minister.

They are planning to either submit a no-confidence motion or a letter to the Governor seeking the removal of the chief minister.

A TNA provincial council member said that at a meeting which took place recently TNA members representing the council had asked Wigneswaran to step down.

Wigneswaran in reply has said that this was a decision the people should make.

According to the PC member the TNA group is up in arms mainly due to Wigneswaran’s recent behavior where he has criticized the party and been non-committal with regards to campaigning on the party’s behalf at the recent general election.

In fact the TNA PC member said that Wigneswaran’s behavior at the recent elections was anti-TNA to say the least.

However TNA is in a dilemma on how to remove Wigneswaran whom the party called as its chief ministerial nominee openly prior to the PC polls two years back.

A TNA member said that the chief minister could not be removed by a no-confidence motion and this could only be done by the governor acting on the request of a majority in the council.

However such a removal too could be challenged in courts, according to this member.

Even some TNA parliament members have openly criticized Wigneswaran in recent times.

The TNA’s deputy leader in Parliament, Mavai S. Senathirajah, had said that Wigneswaran seemed to have forgotten the “tireless work” doe by ITAK and the TNA workers two years ago to elect him as the chief minister of the northern provincial council.                                        Read More
