[QUOTE="lkdood, post: 7050512, member: 92282"] [B]The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) political wing has been registered as a political party with the Commissioner of Elections in Britain. The party has been registered under the People’s Front of Liberation Tigers with the Tiger emblem on the red flag – the same logo and flag the organization used in Sri Lanka. [/B] [B] British High Commission spokesman Dominic Williams told the Sunday Times that the Election Commission in Britain had received the application from the party known as the PFLT and it had been registered.[/B] [B]“However the name has not been included in the final party lists as investigations have to be carried out to ascertain whether the organization has any links with the LTTE military wing which is a banned organization in Britain,” he said.[/B] [B] Mr. Williams said that as long as the party was not involved in terror activities it would be allowed to engage in politics. After the party was registered this week, N. Balasubramaniam was named as party spokesman.[/B] [B] He told a gathering of Tamil Diaspora representatives that in 1989 the same party was registered with the Commissioner of Elections in Sri Lanka, but the party had not been able carryout its functions.[/B] [B] The party held its first convention in Vakarai in 1990 headed by Mahendraaja alias Mahattaya and General Secretary Yogaratnam Yogi.[/B] sundaytimes [/QUOTE]
