Why did the LTTE not let the Tamils vote for Ranil Wickramasinghe?
The LTTE did not ask Tamils not to vote for Ranil. They indicated that one was not preferable to the other. They said that the voting is for a Sinhalese president for Sinhalese. As far as the Tamils are concerned, it did not matter whether “Raman ruled or Ravanan ruled.” The LTTE were concerned only in solving the problem of the Tamils.
