In the past they used to go to Vanni and talk to LTTE directly. But now IC has learned that LTTE is not the representative of Tamils, so they ignore the LTTE and talk to the Chief Minister. Good progress !

Representation of the different communities are determined by their elected MPs. TNA has got 22 of the 24 Tamil MPs representing North and East. Pillayan is the puppet CM appointed to voice the interest of the hegemonic regime of Rajapakse brothers. He might be sacked tomorrow or his EPC could be dissolved by the supreme master Rajapakse.
