Deputy Leader of the Democratic People’s Front (DPF), Nalliah Kumaraguruparan stated that he has been removed from his post after making his position of the DPF leader clear.

He stated that DPF Leader Mano Ganesan was more dedicated to a Sinhalese woman than to the Tamil community while claiming that even though the Democratic was part of the party’s name, he was acting more like a fascist.

He said that Ganesan was constantly vouching for party Administrative Secretary Priyani Gunawardena while he also questioned how she won a seat in the Colombo Municipal Council on the votes of the Tamil community.

Kumaraguruparan claimed that the party Central Committee had met without notifying him and had decided to remove his from his post while he added that even though the move was illegal he did not want to take legal action but would much rather have nothing else to do with a fascist leader and would therefore resign from the party.

He also added that he would not join President Mahinda Rajapaksa as he believe that the President does not stand for the Tamil people.

However, Mano Ganesan stated that Kumaraguruparan was removed from the party because he was criticising the party and divulging information regarding the party while conducting himself in a manner which was beneficial to the government.
