Those parties, who made use of the Provincial Council system for 25 years, are now up in arms at the thought of Tamils in the Northern Province having an elected council of their own, for the first time since Vartharajah was deposed by the President Premadasa. These parties used these councils to do services to their followers and to build up their leaders. Some of these may not exist today if not for the devolution of power. PC system helped them to enjoy power in the respective areas but they want to deprive the NPC of rights, the other PCs enjoyed for a quarter century. Obviously they do not want Tamils and Muslims to share power and they believe only Sinhala nationality has the right of autonomy or self rule. In effect they assume other communities should be under the power of Sinhala.
