Both Venues for 'MAAVEERAR NAAL 'In London Cancelled

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) faction led by Segarampillai Vinayagamoorthy alias Vinayagam has suffered a major setback in Britain.
LTTE Vinayagam faction is in a quandary because it is unable to conduct the "Maaveerar Naal " (grate heroes day ) on November 27th as planned.
Earlier the Vinayagam faction scored over the faction led by Nediyavan (Perinbanayagam Sivaparan ) by booking the Excel hall for the event. The EXCEL which was used in the past by the LTTE to stage the grate hero's day event was to be used by the vinayagam faction this time.
Both LTTE factions engaged in a power struggle are competing to outdo each other by staging the Maaveerar Naal in style to prove a point.
The Vinayagam faction getting Excel was a feather in Vinayagam group's cap as the prestigious venue was expected to attract massive crowds.
The Nediyavan group was compelled to book other smaller venues to counter the huge advantage gained by Vinayagam group in getting Excel.
In a severe blow to Vinayagam faction it is learnt that the Excel management has cancelled the booking and returned the50, 000 pounds advance .The Excel (Exhibition Center London) is located on the northern quay of the Royal Victoria Dock at London Docklands in the borough of Newham.
The Excel built by Sir Robery McAlpine is owned & managed by Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Company and has won many awards for best event venue.
LTTE Vinayagam faction is frantically attempting to persuade EXCEL management to withdraw the cancellation and enable "Maaveerar Naal" to be held.
In a separate development, Sangeethan the Vinayagam group leader in Britain is being questioned for reasons unknown by the Police London.
Like the Vinayagam group the LTTE Nediyavan faction also suffered a similar blow in London as a venue booked by it in Harrow was cancelled.
Of 5 venues booked by the Newdiyavan group for Nov 27th the Shree Kadwa Patidar Center on Kenmore avenue in Harrow, Middle-sex has cancelled it.
while the Vinayagam group had booked only1 venue the nediyavan faction had booked 5 & is less likely to be affected by the Harrow canceling.
It is however not known weather other venues booked for "Great Heroes Day" event on November 27th would also be cancelled at short notice.
