Rejected ITAK leader's next move not clear

The Ilankai Thamil Arasu Katchi ( ITAK) President Mavai Senathiraja, who was defeated at the parliamentary election, made a futile attempt to enter Parliament through the National list.

Mr Senathiraja is reported to be making his next political move by preparing to contest the upcoming provincial council election, if they are held at all. The polls are due to be held early next year.

Meanwhile, Mr Senathiraja’s son, Kalai Amuthan - who is an ITAK member of a northern Pradeshiya Sabha - has already met newly elected MP C V Wigneswaran. His next move was not clear.
