Wiggy won't dissolve TPC – Premachandran

The Tamil People's Council (TPC) is also for the unity, integrity, peace and reconciliation in the country according to former TNA Parliamentarian and TPC member Suresh K. Premachandran. Premachandran quashed the reports on Chief Minister dissolving the TPC due to the pressure from Northern Provincial Councillors (NPC). Premachandran told Ceylon Today that there was a meeting between the Northern Provincial Councilors and the Chief Minister on the issues between the NPC and the TPC.

"Certain NPC members had pointed out to the Chief Minister that the TPC was an obstacle to the functions of the NPC. The TPC being a democratic and non - political body, the Chief Minister listened to the views expressed by the NPC members. But no decision has been taken to dissolve the TPC. It will remain as it is. The TPC Committee is presently engaged in preparing the proposals for the intended new Constitution. The TPC is also for the unity and integrity of the country. However we don't want to play hide and seek with regard to the aspirations of our people," Premachandran said. He also added that the proposal of the TPC for the Constitution was expected to be completed by end of this month.
