\u201cWe offer an alternative\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are getting frustrated by main political parties. They have failed to address Tamil issues. We offer an alternative by contesting elections from all areas in the north and east,\u201d party\u2019s leader Kandasami Indarasa said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Indarasa had served as an LTTE intelligence wing member in the east. He said several former LTTE cadres, who had served the LTTE in different capacities, have joined them.<\/p>\n

Rehab of 11,000 ex-cadres<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 11,000 ex-LTTE cadres have gone through government\u2019s rehabilitation programme since the three-decade-long armed conflict ended in May 2009 with the defeat of the LTTE.<\/p>\n

They were those who gave themselves up to the government troops during the last phase. They were given life skills and English language training while in rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Some concerns have been raised over possible regrouping of the LTTE through rehabilitated cadres.
