The Council for Advancement of Education of Trincomalee District (CAETD) Thursday issued a statement appealing to all students, parents and intelligentsia to attend the Tamil National Resurgence Convention (TNRC) scheduled to be held on Saturday in the east port town in full strength. "The Convention is being held to echo the legitimate aspirations of Tamil people to the international community and other parties concerned that Tamil people cannot be deprived of their right to self determination" said the statement.

The main objective of the TNRC is to show the international community the unity of Tamil people in achieving their legitimate political aspirations and also to urge its support for the achievement of Tamils' goals, the statement added.

All arrangements are finalized to hold the TNRC on October 22 at the children's playground located along the Trincomalee Inner Harbour Road in front of the Trincomalee Hindu Cultural Hall on one side, in front of the Provincial Governor's Secretariat on the other side and facing the Trincomalee harbour.

Awareness meetings are held in the villages from north to south of the Trincomalee district to gain support for the TNRC, sources said.
