Edited sentence: Anandasangaree is an opportunistic Sri Lankan Tamil politician.But Tamils have discarded him for his opportunistic politics in the 2004 General election.He contested for Ceylonese parliament in March and July 1960 general elections and the 1965 general election as a candidate of the Trotsykist Lanka Samasamaja Party.He is viewed by many Sinhalese as a Tamil statesman who is genuinely interested in finding a lasting solution to the civil war that has devastated the country.He postures himself as the leader of a rumpTamil United Liberation Front, which has lost its relevance among the Sri Lankan Tamils.He was fence-sitting for a while during 1971-72 and later joined the Tamil United Front (TUF) and functioned as a seat-warmer in the parliament until 1983.He was soundly defeated.In 2006 Anandasangaree was named as the winner of the 2006 UNESCO-Madanjeet Singh Prize for the Promotion of Tolerance and Non-Violence, for which he was nominated by the Ministry of Education, Sri Lanka.Other office bearers of this rump TULF are not known, even in paper.Then, he party-hopped and joined the Tamil Congress in late 1960s and won the 1970 general election marginally as a Tamil Congress Party candidate
