Former Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran, MP, yesterday (26) said that although the “Maha Viru Day ” held on the 27th of November every year to commemorate the LTTE cadres who had lost their lives in the conflict had been banned on a court order, lamps would be lit in every household in the Jaffna District in their memory.

The former Chief Minister said, during the tenure of the yahapalana government, the commemoration was allowed.

MP Wigneswaran said the commemoration had been held continuously for period of over thirty years without interruption.
