In the famous Tamil movie Vada Chennai, there’s a memorable line where Kishore’s character says, “அவன் பொருளை எடுத்து அவனையே போடணும்,” loosely translating to “Take his weapon and kill him.” The North-East Intellectuals Organization almost did the same to the proponents of the so-called common Tamil candidate.
This North-East Intellectuals Organization has thrown its support behind Ranil Wickremesinghe, directly opposing the Tamil common candidate for the upcoming elections. They reasoned that even LTTE leader Prabhakaran recognized Wickremesinghe’s knack for bold and decisive actions and stated that Ranil’s leadership was crucial for the Tamil community. The organization indirectly said they support Ranil by following their dear leader, Prabhakaran.
What’s amusing is that the people working against Ranil’s prospects by proposing the common Tamil candidate are die-hard LTTE and Prabhakaran fans. These LTTE enthusiasts are now left in a state of confusion, unsure whether to support this statement or not.
They’ve been handed a plot twist straight out of a political thriller!
