The Leader of the Tamil United Freedom Front (TUFF), former Parliamentarian Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias ‘Karuna Amman’, said that both he and his Party will support President Ranil Wickremesinghe at the upcoming Presidential Election. 

The former Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam commander-turned politician revealed this while speaking to reporters when attending the opening of the United National Party (UNP) office in Panadura yesterday (19). 

“We have to appreciate our President Wickremesinghe, because he only rebuilt the country. Everybody knows the history. The last President spoilt the whole sector, even the businesses and the people’s livelihood. Everything went down,” the former Deputy Minister opined.  

He stated that only after UNP Leader Wickremesinghe took over the Presidency has the situation improved in the country and things are turning for the better. “The next chance also we have to give to him. That’s why I’m also supporting him,” Karuna Amman declared. 

He claimed that especially the Tamil people in the North and East are going to vote for Wickremesinghe at the next Presidential Poll. “There is no question. All the people are ready to support President Wickremesinghe. That’s why I’m also supporting him. Our Party is also going to support Wickremesinghe,” he claimed.
