No one in the Tamil people’s Council came through the back door, said Northern Provincial Council Chief Minister and the co-chairman of the Council C.V.Wigneswaran. He made this remark addressing the second session of the controversial Tamil People’s Council held in Jaffna yesterday. “There has always been a wide gap between political principles and politics in practice. So, there must be a movement to monitor such conduct. Our people are prone to the thinking based on whether this party or that party, whether this leader or that leader. We must go beyond such fallacious thinking. Our leaders they may be experts, intelligentsias- have always fallen a prey to praises, flatteries etc to the detriment of the Tamil people. So we need a people’s movement to caution them. It is the time that we went beyond party politics. Political parties should function with expertise and transparency. Even if a political party falters, TPC will play a role as a people’s movement. The leaders of the TPC have felt the pulse of the Tamil people and they have read the minds of the people. The leaders of the TPC live among the people as part and parcel of their lives. It is not a political party, he further stated. - See more at: http://athavaneng.com/?post_type=post&p=235887#sthash.iTukUziP.dpuf
