The chief minister of the northern province, C V Wigneswaran, reiterated his neutrality over the upcoming general election, stating that he would remain silent until after the election.
Asked by reporters in Jaffna on Tuesday, Mr Wigneswaran said, "I will remain mute until the election", before being driven away.
Mr Wigneswaran's comments come as the election campaigning between the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and the Tamil National People's Front (TNPF) intensified, with only a few days left till the Tamil people go to the polls.
Speaking in London last month, Mr Wigneswaran said that he would remain neutral during the election, and would be prepared to work with whoever the Tamil people elected.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
