Colombo (News 1st); Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias ‘Karuna Amman’, the leader of the Tamil United Freedom Front said it was he who created the Tamil National Alliance or the TNA.

Speaking at an event, 'Karuna Amman' said at the time a journalist by the name of Sivaram approached him with a proposal to show the world the real situation of the war and about the influence in Parliament.

I informed my leadership about it and he asked if I am attempting to bring together all those listed down to be assassinated by the LTTE at the time, said Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan.

Karuna Amman said it was a mistake to form the TNA adding the wishes of the leadership should have been fulfilled back then.
