Media Minister vows he won’t let TNA deceive the world

The Sri Lankan Minister of Media and Information declared on Monday that Sri Lanka will no longer allow room for the TNA to deceive the international community, reported Uthayan.

Responding to TNA’s reluctance to participate in the proposed Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Tamil issues, Rambukwella emphasised that Parliament was the land’s highest institution and that the select committee would be the best place to find a solution for the ‘national issue’.

Rambukwella also stressed the friendship between India and Sri Lanka and hoped that India would persuade the visiting TNA delegation to participate in the PSC.

The TNA have expressed their reluctance to join the PSC, claiming that the party is not willing to lead the Tamil nation into another incident of betrayal or trickery.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
