The Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) has announced its opposition to the government’s “Prajashakthi” programme.
ITAK media spokesperson and former MP, M.A. Sumanthiran, pointed out that this is a mechanism carried out based on a political party.
He noted that it operates in parallel to the state machinery and sets a wrong precedent.
The former MP further stated that development activities, which should be carried out by elected local government representatives, are instead being undertaken through the “Prajashakthi” programme, thereby obstructing the functions of those institutions.
He emphasized that the program is contrary to the Constitution and added that legal action will be taken against it in the future. (Newswire)
