Leader of the Upcountry Peoples Front (UPF) P. Chandrasekaran said if steps were taken to form a common Front of Tamil People in the North and East and plantation sector as reported to have agreed upon at a discussion held in the North between CWC leader Arumugam Thondaman and LTTE Political wing Leader Tamilchelvam, it would be disastrous to the Tamil people in plantation areas and other parts of the country.

He said such a merger would be beneficial to the people in the North and the East but not to those Tamil people living in areas other than the North and the East. Tamil people living in the South of the country would be subjected to untold hardships in the event of such an organisation is formed he said.

It would be highly disastrous to Tamil people living in areas out of the North and East. He would appose any such move since it would cause harm to the Tamil people inclusive of plantation people Chandrasekaran told the 'Daily News' UPF leader Chandrasekaran said by the decision said to have been taken at a meeting of Thondaman and Tamilchelvam it would have a severe impact on the Tamil people living in areas outside the North and the East. It would also cause a severe division between Sinhala and Tamil people living in areas in the South.

His party put all the weight and fight against such a disastrous move in case, any attempt is made to make it a reality, Chandrasekaran said.
