The Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) party in Tamil Nadu, outlined in their new manifesto, released today, that they would lift the ban on the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), should they be voted into power.

Adding further issues relating to Eelam Tamils in the manifesto, the MDMK also pledged to work towards holding a referendum to create a state, Eelam, as a political solution for Tamils in Sri Lanka.

The MDMK further expressed its intention of working towards renaming India as the ‘United States of India’ to emphasise the federal structure of India and help work towards devolving powers back to states.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
