The TNA leader R. Sampanthan said there was "no chance of reconciliation due to the actions of the Sri Lankan government", when speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who met with him in Trincomalee on Friday.
Speaking to the Uthayan about the meeting with Damien Murphy and two other officials afterwards, Sampanthan said he had outlined the on-going land grabs, militarisation and Sinhala colonisation taking place in the North-East, before going on to state that if such violations continue to happen there is no chance of reconciliation.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
