வடகிழக்கு மாகாணங்களை பிரிப்பதற்கு இது தரணமல்லவென த.வி.கூ. தலைவர் வீ.ஆனந்தசங்கரி தெரிவித்துள்ளார். வடகிழக்கு தமிழ் மக்களின் சுதந்திரத்திற்கு மதிப்பளிப்பதாயின் வடக்கு கிழக்கு மாகாணங்களை பிரிக்கும் திட்டத்தை நிறுத்துமாறு தலைவர் ஆனந்தசங்கரி அவர்கள் ஜனாதிபதியை கேட்டுக்கொண்டுள்ளதுடன். வடகிழக்கு மாகாணங்களை பிரிப்பது தொடர்பான தீர்மானத்தை அவ் மக்களிடமே விட்டுவிடுங்கள். இரு மாகாணங்களையும் பிரிப்பது தொடர்பாக அவ் மக்களிடம் அபிப்பிராய வாக்கெடுப்பு நடாத்தப்பட வேண்டும். அதற்குரிய சூழ்நிலை தற்போது இல்லை. அங்கே இயல்பு நிலை தோன்றி இடம்பெயர்ந்த மக்கள் மீள் குடியேறினாலே அதுகூட சாத்தியமாகும் எனவும் தலைவர் ஆனந்சங்கரி ஜனாதிபதிக்கு எழுதியுள்ள கடிதத்தில் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார்.

Feature;Page 9

The Lanka Sama Samaja Party was founded on 18 December, 1935, by twenty five activists united in their opposition to British colonial rule. It was also the beginning of the Left movement in Sri Lanka that has shown consistent unity of purpose as a movement despite the frontal divisions between the LSSP and its offshoot, the Communist Party, at the beginning, and other organizational splits in later years.
