The Chief Minister of the Northern Province CV Wigneswaran said that hard drugs were purposely being introduced to the youth to stop them from rallying together.
Mr Wigneswaran warned the Tamil student community that circulation of drugs was an attempt to ensure that they “should not excel in their studies, have no freedom of thought, and that no flames of liberation should blaze in their hearts.”
Speaking at a sports meet in the Northern Province, Mr Wigneswaran added, that after “destroying many (Tamil) youth” the drugs had been introduced to ensure that “they will not rise up again.”
