Effigies of TNA MP Sumanthiran seen across Jaffna



Further effigies of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP, M A Sumanthiran were seen across Jaffna, the local newspaper, Uthayan reported on Wednesday.

Last month, protesters burnt an effigy of Mr Sumanthiran at a protest, accusing him of having colluded with Sri Lanka's foreign minister, Mangala Samaraweera to defer the publication of the findings of a UN inquiry investigating mass atrocities against the Tamil people.

Effigies have been spotted outside the TNA office and the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK) office, the paper reported.
