Protect the right of singing the “national anthem” in Tamil
The chief secretary of the teachers’ union Joseph Staflin says that as there is a Tamil version of the National anthem in the constitution, it is a usual practice of reciting that in Tamil medium schools.
He said this opposing the incident of sending a letter to the education director by the Colombo divisional secretary asking explanation for reciting the national anthem in Tamil at Vipulananda Tamil Vidyalaya, Dematagoda.
