Pakkiyaselvam Ariyanethiran (Tamil: பாக்கியசெல்வம் அரியநேத்திரன்) is a Sri Lankan Tamil politician and Member of Parliament.

Political career

Ariyanethiran was trustee of Kokkatticholai Sivan Temple and editor of Thamil Alai (Tamil wave), a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam newspaper.[1] He was selected by the Tamil Tigers as one of the Tamil National Alliance's candidates in Batticaloa District at the 2004 parliamentary election but failed to get elected after coming fifth amongst the TNA candidates.[2] However, Ariyanethiran entered Parliament in May 2004 following the resignation of Kingsley Rasanayagam.[3] It has been alleged that the Tamil Tigers abducted and forced Rasanayagam to resign to make way for Ariyanethiran.[4] Ariyanethiran was re-elected at the 2010 parliamentary election.[5]
