Ruling party MP Sajin de Vass Gunawardene accused the Tamil National Alliance of obstructing peace in Sri Lanka, according to Asian Mirror.
Speaking at parliament at the second reading of the Land (Restrictions on Alienation) Bill on Monday, the monitoring MP for the External Affairs Ministry said that peace had been realised to 99%, but that the remaining one percent cannot be achieved due to the TNA.
“We are unable to realize this one percent because of the TNA,” Gunewardena said.
“The LTTE seized land from innocent people and burned the deeds and even killed the people. This Act will be of a lot of service to the poor people. Our economy is growing, industries are improving and agriculture productivity is increasing. Land reform will help this process” he said.
