TNA to form a Tamil State in Sri Lanka

The true intention of the pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists lead by Northern Provincial Council (NPC) is to pave the way for a monolithic Tamil State under the guise of a Federal State, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) charged yesterday.

National Organiser and JHU Western Province Councilor Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe said measures taken by the NPC would lead to a conflict between the people representing different ethnic groups. He stated that the conduct of Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Vigneswaran affected the reconciliation process initiated by the government and the people in the South.

“In the past, based on language issues, former president Chandrika Kumaratunga also attempted to introduce a federal state system to the country, but it was defeated by them.  The initiatives taken by the NPC based on the language issue violates the Constitution, and this could act as a barrier for the country’s peace and reconciliation process,” he said.

JHU pointed out that Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader and Opposition Leader R. Sampanthan had raised serious concerns about dividing the country based on language issues and introducing a Tamil State. “All they want is more power and they have done nothing for Tamil people in the North by the funds provided to them,” he said.

In the recent past since the formation of western and India back government of Ranil and Sirisena are working towards separation of country guise of reconciliation process. The majority Sinhalese feel that under the pretext of reconciliation Tamils has been given more concessions and benefit at the cost of Sinhalese.
