New Delhi: Chief minister of Srilanka's Northern Provincial Council  C V Wigneswaran has accused the outgoing Rajapaksa Government of spying on him. He fears all his  telephone , cellphones and computer  were  tapped in the previous regime.

 “It is one of the worst situations despite the fact that I am heading a democratic state of Tamils and sitting at the helm of a provincial council in the north,” Wigneswaran told The Indian Express.

 
  “This is also one of the many reasons for parties representing Tamilians rooting to support Maithripala Sirisena coalition against Rajapaksa,” he added.

 Wigneswaran represents the Tamil National Alliance ( TNA) from Jaffna.

  Mr. Wigneswaran further added that he was just a symbolic Chief minister while the show is being run by the governors and bureaucrats.”

  He ruined the fact  that he didn't have any powers to choose his own secretary or appoint a peon or even a take decisions to build new latrines .

 According to him, the CM has to get clearance from ministry of defence to visit many places of his own state which clearly shows the extent of army's power in the state.

 “I see over 4,800 families living in 34 welfare centres in the northern provinces who were literally starving without any livelihood options. Their land, from which they were evicted during the war, is now being used to build palatial bungalows for the President and army generals. Acres of their land are now being turned into golf courses and swimming pools while the original owners remain at welfare centres,” Wigweswaran said.

 Wigneswaran admitted that Tamil leaders have been unsuccessful in triggering election fever among the Tamilians because they believe Sinhalese-majority government will never address their concerns.
