Sarawanabavanandan Shanmuganathan (16 May 1960 – 15 July 1998; known as Vasanthan) was a Sri Lankan Tamil militant, politician and Member of Parliament.
Shanmuganathan was born on 16 May 1960.[1] He was a Hindu.[1] He was a senior member of the militant People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam, serving as its commander in Vavuniya.[2]
Shanmuganathan was member of Vavuniya Urban Council.[3] He contested the 1994 parliamentary election as one of the Democratic People's Liberation Front's candidates in Vanni District and was elected to Parliament.[4]
Shanmuganathan was killed by a claymore mine in Irambaikkulam, Vavuniya District on 15 July 1998.[3][5] The assassination was blamed on the rival rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.[6][7] However, the pro-LTTE TamilNet claimed that Shanmuganathan had been the victim of an internal conflict within the PLOTE.[8]
