Former LTTE cadres in Sri Lanka express interest in entering politics
A Sri Lankan government minister says that some former LTTE cadres have expressed interest in entering main stream politics.
Rehabilitation and Prisons Reforms Minister Chandrasiri Gajadeera told the media that several rehabilitated former LTTE cadres have expressed interest to enter politics.
He noted that measures would be taken for them to contest in future local government elections in a democratic manner.
According to the Minister, so far six rehabilitated former cadres have expressed interest in contesting at the next election.
Following the end of a three-decade conflict in 2009, over 11, 000 former LTTE combatants surrendered to government forces.
Over 10,500 carders have since been released and returned to their homes in the northern and eastern provinces of the country.
