Mamanithar Ariyanayagam Chandraneru
Ariyanayagam is a native of Tirukovil, Ampara District. Chandraneru initially worked at the Kalpitti Fisheries Corporation. He then left the public service and joined the Maldivian Ship as the second officer. He was promoted to ship captain in six years. He worked on the Maldivian Ship for years. When he returned to the country in the middle of the eighties, he was detained for more than a year at the Poosa Prevention Camp under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. Prison life attracted him with the power of Tamil nationalism. In the 2001 parliamentary elections, Chandraneru opposed the Ampara district in the 2001 parliamentary elections and won the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) candidate and won 26,282 votes. On February 7, 2005, when travelling with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Kowsalyan from Batticaloa-Ampara Political Wing, the vehicle was attacked in the Pollonnaruva district. Chandraneru, who was admitted to the Pollonnaruva Hospital, died the next day on the morning of February 8.
Mr. Ariyanayagam Chandraneru, was honored with the title Mamanithar by the National leader of Tamileelam.

The Tamil nation has lost a noble man who tirelessly fought for the liberation of the Tamil people and the liberation of the land of Tamil Eelam as the highest ideal of his life. A great man has fallen victim to a brutal attack today. Mr. Ariyanayagam Chandraneru was a selfless and humane public welfare supporter. A great human rights activist. A revolutionary politician. A great worker who captivated the hearts of everyone. His death is an irreparable loss to the Tamil nation. His life was united with the land of Ampara and the people of that land. In the days when the war of extermination of the Tamil people by the Sinhalese forces was at its peak and in the days when there is a ceasefire, he stood together with that land and those people and faced everything. He exposed the destruction and atrocities committed by the Sinhalese forces on Ampara to the world with courage and honesty.
Within the constant threats of the Sinhalese forces, even when dangers appeared, he fought against injustice with fearlessness and huge courage. He was one of the founders of human rights in the North and East and worked tirelessly for the rights of the Tamil people.
He clearly presented the reasons and justifications of the struggle of the Tamil people in the world. His work is always commendable. I am proud to present the highest national award of “Mamanithar” to Mr. Ariyanayagam Chandraneru in respect of his freedom struggle and to honor his good work.
Death does not destroy great men who lived for a noble ideal. They have an permanent place in the soul of our nation.
