13th Amendment fundamentally flawed
– Sumanthiran
By Namini WijedasaIt is insulting when ministers say Tamils don’t have political aspirations or that ordinary people don’t want land or police powers, said M. Sumanthiran, TNA MP, in an interview.
“Tamil people are very astute, politically,” Sumanthiran said. “They exercised their vote intelligently. We asked for a particular mandate and it is for this that they voted. It is actually an insult when ministers like Basil Rajapaksa say it’s not what the people want and that it’s what the politicians want.
