PTGTE : new form of evil for Tamils

Some front organisations owing allegiance to the now destroyed LTTE have grouped up in Norway recently to form what is called the Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam or the PTGTE.

As the name goes this is to be based abroad and as is wont with the many dozen organisations formed in the name of fighting for Tamils, this new organisation has nothing to do with the Tamils from the recently liberated island nation.

What is the necessity for a transnational government when the crux of the population still lives in the island? Who are they going to reach out to? How are they going to reach out to the Tamils of the island?

The practical impossibilities the answers to those questions offer a clearer idea of the basic motives behind promoting it.

The PTGTE is a front organisation formed to amass funds from the expatriate Tamils settled all over the world. It is found to serve the personal benefits of the promoters who have sensed an opportunity in the void created by the elimination of the LTTE. 

Its establishment is only to further politicise the issue and try to gain some legitimacy for the organisation itself with the western countries.
