Letter to Modi: Mano goes solo without TNA

After the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) sent a letter to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 13th Amendment and the 'Tamil Question' recently, others are following suit. They included upcountry political parties which represent the Tamil-speaking plantation communities.

Mano Ganesan’s Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) was engaged with political parties in the North and East to come to a common understanding but later left due to disagreements. The TPA did not sign the TNA memorandum sent to Indian Prime Minister Modi recently.

It seems now, the upcountry-based political parties are now going on their own and drafting a letter to the Indian Premier, highlighting the political aspirations of the plantation communities. Similar letters are also being sent to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.
