Sri Lanka, June 13 -- Parliamentarian Archuna Ramanathan has claimed that funds to bring the National People's Power (NPP) into power were provided by the LTTE diaspora.

He alleged that the intention behind providing the funds was to re-establish E***m, adding that both the LTTE diaspora and the country have now been deceived.

Speaking at the 'Mehewaraka Pranama' event organized by Member of Parliament Rohitha Abeygunawardena, he further stated:

"We. that means the LTTE diaspora gave money to Tilvin not to put Suresh Sallay inside, but to put leaders like Mahinda inside. It was the diaspora that gave money for the NPP to come to power. We thought they would give Eelam. Not even E***m, this government cannot even give a piece of cloth. ...
