‘#Tamils vote in NPC not a legitimation of unitary #SriLanka’: #TamilNadu activist Arguing that the Northern Provincial Council elections was not conducted for the interests of the Eezham #Tamil #nation but rather was coordinated by the US-Indian establishments for diverting the attention of the world from the genocide taking place, Umar, activist with the #May17 Movement, stated that the vote of the Eezham Tamils for the TNA was cast against the #genocidal Sri Lankan state. Without considering this, some are interpreting the vote as being against the demand of Tamil Eelam and a legitimation of unitary Sri Lanka. In an interview to TamilNet, he further said a political solution can be arrived at only through a referendum amongst the Eezham Tamils in the island, in Tamil Nadu and the diaspora, referring to the overwhelming mandate for the Vaddukkoaddai resolution given by the diaspora in 2010.
