Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran said that Police saying there is a threat to Tamil National Alliance (TNA) leader Sumanthiran's life is a ploy to station the Army permanently, reports Daily Mirror on February 7. He said "The Police had told Courts that those arrested had drugs in their possession. However they had not notified Courts about the death threat. If there were any truth in the allegation, they should have notified so. We have to find out to what extent it is true. Following the Police investigations something will be said. One thing we must remember is that from time to time there were death threats or some tensions were created. They did this in the case of Kilinochchi Jeyakumari as well. I wonder whether the circulation of this kind of rumour is a ruse to station the army permanently

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Pujith Jayasundera during a discussion held with the religious leaders and civil society organizations at the Auditorium of the Jaffna Police Station in Jaffna District on August 1 said terrorism had not been eliminated completely from the country and the attempts made by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to stage a comeback should be defeated at any cost, reports Daily Mirror. “Though we say we have eliminated terrorism from the country, no one can make sure that seeds of terrorism had been removed completely. It is true that the weapons used by the terrorists were handed over in large number to the Government but it doesn’t mean all the weapons had been handed over. Some extremists and organizations are attempting to portray a wrong picture about the situation in the North for their petty gains, using some media institutions. This is how the LTTE made its entrance back in the days. We shouldn’t allow this to succeed,” he said.

Separately, Eelam People’s Evolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) Suresh Premachandran on November 10 said that a new political front is likely to be mooted against the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in the Northern Province ahead of the elections to the local authorities, reports Daily Mirror. Mr. Premachandran told that his party was no longer prepared to contest elections under the Ilankai Tamil Arachu Katchchi (ITAK)’s House symbol, and it had notified the TNA leadership about the latest decision. He said the people gave a mandate to the ITAK to work out a political solution to the national question and secure the merger of the Northern and Eastern Provinces but the ITAK was only rubbing shoulders with the government with no solution in sight. Mr. Premachandran said his party would contest the local government elections on its own or under a new political front, which might be formed ahead of the elections. The TNA, made up of four political parties is facing an internal struggle after the EPRLF decided to quit the alliance. Since its inception in 2001, the EPRLF has contested elections under the 'House Symbol' of the ITAK, which is the TNA's main constituent party.

Of the 73 mini factories in North and East, 38 will be in the Northern Province while 35 will be in East.
