We will do nothing that
goes against the law, Tamil National Alliance Chief Ministerial candidate, C.V.
Vigneswaran stated after receiving the highest preferential votes in the
Jaffna District at the concluded Provincial Council election.
Speaking to journalists in
Jaffna, he stated that the party requires the support of the government in
order to be able to maintain the Northern Provincial Council.
Vigneswaran, who is set
to become the Chief Minister of the region, said that the party however did not
have any intention of joining an alliance with the government.
He also assured that the
TNA was prepared to take action if the government attempts to exert pressures
on land and police powers.
The Tamil National Alliance, which is registered as Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK), won a landslide victory on Sunday in a landmark election in the battle-scarred North, securing 30 out of 38 seats in polls for the provincial council in the former war zone.
The TNA swept all five districts in the election for the Northern Provincial Council, the first for 26 years.
