The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has file a police complaint after the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) led by Pillaiyan reportedly barged into the Valaichchenai Pradeshiya Sabha meeting this week and illegally passed the local body’s budget for 2021.
With reports that the Secretary to the Pradeshiya Sabha was locked inside his office, the TMVP allegedly passed the budget in a closed door meeting, following a clash that left two TNA councillors hospitalised.

Pillaiyan, the head of the government-aligned paramilitary group, is accused of assassinating former Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP Joseph Pararajasingham. Pararajasingham was shot dead by two gunmen on Christmas Day 2005 as he was attending midnight mass at St Mary's Cathedral, Batticaloa.
