The Jaffna District Tamil National Alliance Parliamentarian Sivagnanam Srithiran said that military presence in the North and east was a deliberate attempt to lead the youth into facets of a culture of violence so they have no time to devote to Tamil nationalism.
He further alleged the security forces stationed in the North were the cause of the dominance of a violent culture which had a demoralizing impact on the lives of Tamil youth.
Commenting on the Navy’s attempt to construct a new church on the island inlet of Kachchathibu he alleged that the act was an attempt to colonise the fishing island.
The construction of Buddha shrines across the North-East were part of a wider programme of Sinhalsiation of the North-East he added.
