In the closing days of the war, he has arrived in the government held area, and after spending some time at an IDP camp, has settled in Vavuniya.
The Tamil National Alliance (TNA), which sought to cash in on his popularity appointed him as the Chairman of the Citizens Committee in Vavuniya.
Wijendran had actively taken part at TNA meetings and campaigns during the recent Northern Provincial Council elections and had even addressed meetings. His sister too had contested the NPC polls and he had actively campaigned for her.
His knowledge in English allowed him to meet with Civil Society representatives, diplomatic missions, and envoys. He has been a leading participant in memorials for Tamil leaders and been at the forefront of protests “in support of the disappeared.”
It has been revealed that Wijendran had met with several foreign dignitaries and held secret pocket meetings with the people.
He had been instrumental in collecting data on affected people in the North.
Accordingly, he had requested several persons to collect details of affected people in the North. He had also assigned people to obtain signatures on blank forms which had allegedly been drafted according to UN specifications.
One such person who was sent to collect details, Sinnathambi Krishnarasa was arrested with the forms in Pooneryn on October 25. He had obtained six signatures on blank forms stating that they would receive compensation from the UN.
