Rejecting the statement made by the chief minister of the Northern province at the mass Tamil rally on Saturday, the Jathika Hela Urumaya on Tuesday called on the government to make a counter statement against what it described as "baseless allegations".
"The government must make a statement with facts and figures as the international community may be misled by these baseless allegations," the JHU national organiser was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying.
“The government must reveal how many Sinhala families had been resettled in the North and how many Buddhist statues have been built and places of worship of other religions like Muslim and Christians. If not the international community may think that Sinhalese are invading the North,” he added.
“The Central Bank Governor, Chief Justice and Opposition Leader are all Tamils but Sinhala people had not protested against them being appointed to such posts. But Mr. Wigneswaran is trying to hinder this political reconciliation,” he added.
