Racist Sumanthiran Celebrates LTTE Tamil Terrorists in Jaffna – violation of Constitution
The racist pro-LTTE Tamil terrorist MP Sumanthiran in so-called LTTE Heroes week celebration day in Jaffna
Pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists TNA MP Sumanthiran had attended a remembrance service of Pandithar, an LTTE Tamil terrorist leader in Jaffna to mark so called Tamil Terrorists heroes week..
Minister Sarath Weerasekera said in the parliament that the MP had taken an oath not to divide the country and attending a remembrance of an LTTE leader was wrong.
The Minister raised to the point of order after racist Sumanthiran raised a privilege issue on commission of inquiry into political victimization had announced that he would be named for evading the commission sessions.
Minister Dr Weerasekera said that MP Sumanthiran talked of MP’s privileges after violating the MP’s code of conduct by attending a funeral of a terrorist. “That was against the oath he had taken as an MP”
The Speaker should ask him about it. Earlier this week, the TNA MP went to the home of Pandithar’s mother, in Valvettithurai, where he lit a lamp to commemorate the fallen LTTE terrorist leader. He was one of the LTTE leaders who had killed security force members in captivity,” the Minister said.
MP Sumanthiran: I do not need to answer the allegation, but I do so since my name was mentioned. Sinnathurai Maheswari was one of my clients. I appeared for her in a case at the Jaffna High Court where the learned judge told me that she could conduct remembrance in public places but was allowed to remember her son who was killed in 1985 privately at home. It was not even a home, it was a shack. I went there on that day and explained to my client the instructions given by the judge.
Minister Weerasekera: The dead person was an LTTE leader. He was a killer.
MP Sumanthiran: Yes, he was a member of the LTTE.
Minister Dr Weerasekera: You are a racist. You are the one who talks about majority sovereignty. There is no such sovereignty. Sovereignty is for all the people. You gave a very childish excuse. The mother can remember her son there is no problem, but an MP cannot go to such a place.
On the other hand you cannot compare the LTTE with the JVP. The LTTE tried to divide the country. You should be ashamed of yourself to talk about MPs privileges after acting against the oath you have taken as an MP.
