The TMVP leader Vinayagamoorthy Muraleetharan alias ‘Colonel’ Karuna Amman concerned by the infiltration and attacks by the LTTE on the TMVP cadres seek Army assistance to screen members of his party, The Sunday Times adds. Karuna held two meetings in Welikanda and Batticaloa to tell his party men about the screening process. Speaking from Batticaloa after the meeting, he said other than screening their own members, the cadres were also being told to be vigilant to prevent any LTTE infiltration into the area. The screening process was prompted by the recent recruitment of 42 members to TMVP ranks. Most of them were former LTTE cadres and had told their recruiters that they had given up all connections with the LTTE. They claimed they were seeking TMVP membership since they were coming under military scrutiny regularly.
