“The grief and affection shown by our people at the loss of Thamilini, even six years after the end of the war, is a testament to the life that she lived and the spirit of leadership she demonstrated during the struggle,” the Chief Minister of the Northern Province, C. V. Wigneswaran said in a tributary statement.



“With an unrelenting thirst for her ideals, the courageous Thamilini's thoughts were all about the liberation of the Tamil people and the advancement of Tamil women.”
