The assassinated ITAK politician V. Dharmalingam was remembered in Jaffna today on the 32nd anniversary of his murder.
The former MP for Uduvil and Manipay, and founding member of TULF is suspected to have been killed by a rival Tamil militant group, although no-one claimed responsibility for the killing.
Several TNA figures, including Dharmalingam’s son Siddharthan, attended the remembrance event held in Thavadi at the Dharmalingam memorial monument.
