Mavai Senathirajah’s Death: A Political Tragedy?
Jaffna, January 30, 2025 – The sudden demise of former Tamil Arasu Katchi leader Mavai S. Senathirajah has sent shockwaves across the Tamil political sphere. Admitted to Jaffna Teaching Hospital after experiencing severe mental distress, his passing has raised serious concerns regarding the political turmoil that led to this tragic outcome.
Mavai Senathirajah, who was unceremoniously removed from his leadership position within the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Katchi (ITAK), had been facing intense political pressure and public humiliation orchestrated by M.A. Sumanthiran and his allies. Reports indicate that the relentless political maneuvering against him, particularly his forced ousting and the pressure over his endorsement of the Tamil national candidate, contributed significantly to his deteriorating health.
According to hospital sources, Senathirajah’s condition became critical following a heated exchange at his residence on January 26, 2025, with acting ITAK President C.V.K. Sivagnanam and Acting General Secretary P. Sathiyalingam, who reportedly issued threats regarding his permanent expulsion from the party. Witness accounts suggest that Sumanthiran’s faction was determined to sideline him entirely, leaving him in deep emotional distress.
A Death Surrounded by Suspicion
Medical experts have indicated that excessive psychological stress can trigger fatal neurological conditions, particularly in individuals under extreme duress. Reports from forensic specialists suggest that Mavai Senathirajah’s death was not entirely natural but may have been induced by extreme emotional and mental pressure, leading to a fatal collapse.
Senathirajah’s family members have raised serious concerns, holding specific individuals accountable for his demise. Sumanthiran, C.V.K. Sivagnanam, and S. Chanakyan, among others, have been identified as key players in the political conspiracy that led to this tragic loss.
A Community Outraged: The Public Responds
Amidst growing outrage, the Tamil public has begun circulating images of those allegedly responsible for Senathirajah’s suffering, with calls for accountability gaining momentum. In a significant move, Senathirajah’s family has banned 19 individuals from attending his final rites, stating that those who betrayed him in life will not be allowed to mourn him in death.
