Sri Lanka- Background briefing- Issue No.4 (25.05.1986)
When events overtake human plans and efforts making them seen inconsequential that is the time when one senses the throb of a historical force. Sunday May 4th 1986 was the day when the Tamil Eelam Supporter's Organisation (TESO) held its SAVE CEYLON TAMILS CONFERENCE at madurai. It certainly promised to be an event of considerable political significance at that point of time. For the first time leaders and representatives of Opposition parties particularly from the North, with differing approaches on domestic politics were gathering in the heart of Tamil Nadu on a united bid to express solidarity with Tamils of Sri Lanka, Not withstanding the absence of the ruling party of the State, and the two Communist parties which were invited but declined to attend, the nationwide representation was broad enough to attract interest.
