NPC Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran and Governor G.A Chandrasiri, having a word ahead of its first session on Friday Oct 25,2013
Attired in traditional costume — off-white silk kurta, white Dhoti and angavastram
(shawl) — C V Wigneswaran, in what colleagues later termed “a powerful
speech”, said the NPC was willing to lend a hand of friendship to the
Centre and hoped that it would cooperate with the newly-elected Council.
All the 38 Councillors, the chairman and secretary, senior leaders
including TNA’s R. Sampanthan were seated inside the red-carpeted
assembly hall of the NPC complex. The NPC complex in Kaithady, near
Jaffna, had been renovated for this important day — the historic, first
ever NPC session.
