Organisers of the ongoing commemorations to Thileepan have condemned as an intimidation tactic the burning of tyres in front of the Nallur monument.
On Saturday night unknown persons escaped after setting fire to tyres in front of the Nallur monument to Thileepan which has been decorated and maintained to commemorate 30 years since the LTTE political wing leader undertook his fast unto death.
Selvarajah Kajendran of the Tamil National People's Front asserted that the burning was carried out by state-sponsored forces.
The organising team said that remembrance activities would continue, regardless of threats.
