Reiterating the need for an ‘internationally supervised’ political solution for the Tamils, TNA MP S Sritharan told the visiting British Deputy High Commissioner Laura Davis, that Sri Lanka’s new government has made no progress in meeting Tamil demands,
Speaking to Ms Davis in Kilinochi, the TNA MP said,
“Finally a solution should be found for the ethnic crisis that is ongoing for more than 70 years, with international supervision.”
“People a losing hope gradually. There is still army presence, army camps and surveillance. Nothing has changed. Resettlement has not happened, many things that were announced have not progressed any further,” he added.
Expressing concern at the high level of military involvement in everyday life, Mr Sritharan said,
"Former Tamil cadres that have been rehabilitated are struggling to find jobs, as farms and factoires are still under military control or not operating."
