Police pushing Tamil youth into drugs and prostitution says Wigneswaran

The Chief Minister of the Northern Province CV Wigneswaran has stated that Tamil youth are being pushed into drugs and prostitution with the help of the Sri Lankan military, earlier this month.

Addressing the ‘Southwest Youth Association’ in Maanippai, Wigneswaran told the audience that brothels were being built with Tamil women as prostitutes and youths being pushed into using cocaine and other drugs.

Noting that problems on this scale were new to the Northern Province, he went on to add that these issues have led to Tamil youth abandoning their culture and tradition.
