In a Twitter post, Ganeshan said the National Anthem in Tamil language is not just another song, but the “Sri Lankan identity” of the Tamil-speaking community, which is the need of the hour. “Wish your administration doesn’t dismantle last four years’ practice of Sri Lankan National Anthem in Tamil language being sung at the National Day celebrations,” he said in a Twitter post.
