Sumanthiran has exploited his position as General Secretary
@ITAKOrg to impose authoritarian control over the party through intimidation, legal intimidation, coercion, and the support of state military structures. Tamils are increasingly living in fear of persecution, including threats, torture, harassment, and retaliation, carried out by him and his associates, fostering a culture of fear aimed at silencing dissent and suppressing democratic expression within the movement. Recently, the actions of Sumanthiran and Shanakiyan have escalated into
#intimidation targeting the Tamil media.
#Journalists are now facing threats of
#legal action aimed at
#silencing dissent and suppressing independent reporting. His conflict of interest with the JVP as legal and political clients, raises grave concerns about compromised loyalty, political manipulation, and betrayal of Tamil interests. Even more disturbing are allegations linking his own cousin to the killing of Tamil journalists, casting a dark shadow over claims of justice and accountability.
Figures such as
@MASumanthiran , his puppet
@ShanakiyanR , and Sumanthiran are accused of sacrificing the integrity and struggle of the Tamil people for personal advancement and political privilege. Allegations include securing President’s Counsel titles, elite employment opportunities, and educational advantages for his daughter,
#Shilohni, through political inducements, favoritism, and backroom deals while ordinary Tamils continue to suffer persecution, displacement, and denial of justice.
