COLOMBO (News 1st) President's Counsel M. A. Sumanthiran, representing the Ilangai Tamil Arasu Party (ITAK), has confirmed that the party's decision to support Sajith Premadasa remains unchanged. 

This statement comes amid calls from Mavei Senadhiraja and M. Sreedharan to reconsider the party's stance.

Sumanthiran emphasized that the decision was made following proper procedures and has now been accepted by all party members. 

"Mavei Senadhiraja and Sreedharan had stated that we should reconsider the decision taken by the party. But we have stated that there is no need to reconsider it. It is a decision taken by our party according to the proper method. Now both of them have accepted that. Therefore, they have accepted that the future work should be discussed again with Sajith Premadasa," he said.

Regarding the possibility of dealing with Anura Kumara Dissanayake if he becomes president, Sumanthiran expressed readiness.
