An activist of the Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP), identified as Ponniah Yogendran, was reportedly shot dead by suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres at Valachchenai in the Batticaloa district on the night of March 1. EPDP leader Douglas Devananda in a statement blamed the LTTE for the killing, saying Yogendran had been threatened by the Tigers. "The LTTE is attempting to gain the status of sole representative of the Tamil people by annihilating its political opponents as a means to achieve its fascist goals," the EPDP leader said in a letter to the Election Commissioner. Yogendran is the second opposition candidate to be killed in the run up to the elections. As reported earlier, Sundarampillai of the United National Front (UNF) was shot dead in his hospital bed at Batticaloa town earlier on the same day.
