Pro-Tamil sources said Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) Member of Parliament for Jaffna Mavai Senathirajah, while addressing a function to commemorate fallen Tamil Elam Liberation Organisation (TELO) cadres said, "The Liberation Tigers (of Tamil Eelam-LTTE) are fighting for the freedom of the Tamil people. They should continue their armed struggle until the Tamil people are liberated." He was addressing a meeting in Vavuniya, on July 27, to commemorate TELO leaders massacred in the Welikada jail, Colombo, in July 1983. Addressing the gathering, TELO advisor N. Srikanth said, "The leader of the ACTC (All Ceylon Tamil Congress), Kumar Ponnambalam and the Jaffna journalist Mayilvaganam Nimalarajan were murdered by agents of the People’s Alliance (PA) government. Therefore the PA regime will not take any effort to bring the killers to book. Tamils cannot expect any justice from this government. This is why the alliance of 11 Tamil parties are opposing it"
