This liberation party flag is very similar to the Viet-Cong flag.

The flag of the party is also presented on the party blog (3 March 2009): "Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi flag represent marvelous meaning. The flag equally shared in sky blue and red color. Top half of the flag filled in blue then the remaining bottom of the flag filled with red color and center of the flag white star with five ends."
On the graphic representation of the flag, the star is much smaller than on the actual flags spotted in the demonstration.
