TNA calls for full devolution of powers to North-East

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) called for land and police powers to be devolved to the provinces.

Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, the leader of the Tamil Eelam Liberation Organisation (TELO) Selvam Adaikalanathan said that the 13th Amendment must be fully implemented with powers fully devolved to the Northern provinces.

The parliamentarian lamented the government’s failure to fully implement the amendment, highlighting that the previous government had even removed some of the clauses form the amendment, reports Colombo Gazette.
