'''Crusaders for Democracy''' is a Tamil political party led by [[Nadesapillai Vithyatharan]] a Journalist who was the Editor of the [[Uthayan]] and consists of former LTTE cadres. It was started the near the [[Nallur Kandaswamy temple]] where [[Thileepan]] fasted to death in a hunger strike against the [[IPKF]].
The party was started after the [[Tamil National Alliance]] refused to nominate them for political reasons. However, Crusaders for Democracy will contest as an independent group but will not campaign against the [[Tamil National Alliance]] and will contest only from [[Jaffna ]] as it did not want to split Tamil votes in other areas. <ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/Former-LTTE-Militants-To-Contest-Polls-As-Crusaders-For-Democracy/2015/07/03/article2900486.ece | title=Former LTTE Militants To Contest Polls As 'Crusaders For Democracy' | publisher=[[New Indian Express]] | work=K Balachandran | date=3 July 2015 | accessdate=17 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ceylontoday.lk/89-98099-news-detail-cfd-fields-untouchables-for-election.html | title=CFD fields 'untouchables' for election | publisher=[[Ceylon Today]] | work=Sulochana Ramiah Mohan | date=12 July 2015 | accessdate=17 August 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722005843/http://www.ceylontoday.lk/89-98099-news-detail-cfd-fields-untouchables-for-election.html | archive-date=22 July 2015 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.island.lk/index.php?page_cat=article-details&page=article-details&code_title=129416 | title=P’karan bodyguard in parliamentary polls fray | publisher=Island | date=3 August 2015 | accessdate=17 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/a-defining-moment-for-colombo/ | title=A defining moment for Colombo | publisher=[[Indian Express]] | work=S Y Quraishi | date=17 August 2015 | accessdate=17 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2015/08/02/post-war-development-not-for-all/ | title=Post War Development Not For All | publisher=[[Sunday Leader]] | accessdate=17 August 2015}}</ref>
