A Brief Overview
The People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE) is a former militant organization in Sri Lanka. It was formed in the early 1980s and initially sought to establish an independent Tamil Eelam state in northern and eastern Sri Lanka, alongside other Tamil militant groups like the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
While PLOTE was involved in armed conflict against the Sri Lankan government during the civil war, it was not as prominent or influential as the LTTE. Over time, PLOTE's influence diminished, and it eventually disarmed and transformed into a political party.
Today, PLOTE primarily operates as a political entity participating in Sri Lankan politics. Its activities are centered on advocating for the rights and interests of the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka through political means.
