According to The Hindu: International
Edition, "... the Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front
(EPRLF) is pursuing a lonely path, and has resolutely kept away
from collaborating with the Government" (15 December, 1990). The
article further adds that "The EPRLF's stand has led to increasing
frictions with the Government and the EPRLF members are
increasingly insecure in Colombo, where several of their lower
ranking members have been arrested recently" (Ibid.).
