The National People’s Power (NPP) refuted releasing Tamil-language campaign songs in the North and East, closely associated with Tamil nationalism and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as reported by some media.
NPP General Secretary Dr. Nihal Abeysinghe said some videos created by some youth in the North and East had been tagged in NPP Jaffna District MP Ilankumaran’s Facebook.
He said the NPP or MP Ilankumaran have no connections with the videos.
“The NPP has no control on such videos being tagged. Some youth had created and tagged the videos in MP Ilankumaran Facebook,” he said.
The matter sparked severe debate on social media over the weekend with users asking why the NPP allowed its campaign song in the North and East to promote Tamil nationalism and the LTTE.
