<br />
==History==<br />
DPLF was established in 1987. While [[People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam]] was fighting the [[Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam|LTTE]] and other paramilitary factions in the North, they decided to enter democratic politics and gain power in parliament.<br />
<br />
Even after their entrance to democratic politics, they would participate in battles such as the [[1988 Maldives coup d'etat]].<ref>{{citation|title=Rajiv Gandhi's Diplomacy: Historic Significance and Contemporary Relevance|url=http://www.diplomatist.com/dipom09y2014/article015.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180221161446/http://www.diplomatist.com/dipom09y2014/article015.html|archive-date=21 February 2018}}</ref> PLOTE would enter parliament in 2001.<br />
