Noting that the 16 seats secured by the Tamil National Alliance would be influential in Sri Lanka’s parliament, M Karunanudhi, said,
“In this situation, the number of seats secured by the TNA will influence the decisions taken by the new prime minister, and this is a good time for Tamils to take forward their long-pending demands.”

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.
