The Tamil Community should be given the opportunity to contribute to the money inflow amidst the current economic collapse befallen the country, TNA MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam emphasised speaking in Parliament today (27).
Joining the debate on the adoption of the Emergency Bill, the TNA MP pointed out that economic zones should be established in the North and the East and expressed confidence that Ranil Wickremesinghe as the new President and Dinesh Gunawardena as the new Prime Minister as mature politicians may not commit the same mistakes as the leaders of the past. Accordingly, the two should provide the Tamil people with the opportunity to contribute to the country’s economy, he stressed.
Although it is possible to open doors to dollar infusion and investment opportunities by involving the Tamil community via the adoption of new constitutional reforms to address their political issues, the adoption of the Emergency Law speaks otherwise, begging the question whether the current rulers are resorting to the same mistakes committed by the leaders of the past, Rasamanickam noted.
The TNA MP further added that should the government want to see an end to the current people’s protests, it should not suppress them but bring about the reforms they demand.
