Dancing Queen joins Douglas Devananda

(August 10, Jaffna, Sri Lanka Guardian) The infamous Ankayatkanni Selvarajah k/a Dancing Queen have joined the Minister Douglas Devandand’s Eelam Peoples Democratic Party (EPDP) recently. Resident of London, backed by controversial political history, Ankayatkanni is said to be one of the street campaigners propping up the LTTE in London until recently.

Closely connected to the LTTE’s former international Finance Head Emden Seevaratnam who manages the resourceful Muththumari Amman temple in Tooting in London, Ankayatkanni was emotionally attached to the LTTE until its military defeat. She expressed her trauma following the death of the LTTE’s political spokesperson Suba Thamilchelvan in the Tamil media in London.

According to news reaching from Jaffna, Ankayatkanni was heavily involved in the anti-LTTE pro-EPDP election campaign in Jaffna in the municipal elections. The EPDP website gave heavy publicity for her campaign work for the party.

Angayatkanni is said to be indebted to many landlords including the one and only Tamil Community Housing Association in London and it is expected that she will not return to London and will follow a political career with the EPDP. She went on to upset one of the indebted landlords who in sheer frustration of not tracing her wrote to Tamil organiations in London name calling her a ‘Dancing Queen’. -Sri Lanka Guardian
