The Sri Lankan president’s handing over of 20,000 flawed land permits to families in the North-East is an act of bribery, warned the Tamil National Alliance MP M Sumanthiran.
The 20,000 displaced families had been selected to receive their land deeds several years ago and had instead only been given land permits months before presidential elections, noted Sumanthiran.
The TNA MP told the Colombo Telegraph that Rajapaksa's Land Development Ordinance land permits were bribes for votes and failed to restore full land ownership to the families.
