The event, entitled 'The Change – Jaffna Youth Conference', was scheduled to be held on 22 February at Jaffna Hindu College's Kumarasamy Hall.
In a letter sent to the organisers, CV Wigneswaran stated,
“Unless the Central Government and Provincial Government Ministers or proper officials discuss initially about the purpose of the meeting and its use to the general public in the Northern Province and jointly come to a conclusion and decide to have a meeting of this sort, it is inappropriate for you to expect me or my ministers to attend such a meeting.”See his full letter, published on Uthayan, below.
