The Government says the review process on the ban imposed on some Diaspora groups is underway.
Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera, who had said in March that the ban imposed by the former Government on Diaspora groups and individuals would be reviewed, informed Parliament that the process was underway.
“I spoke that day about initiating a process to review the individuals and entities in the Diaspora community who were listed under the Extraordinary Gazette 1854/41 of 21 March 2014. This process has already been initiated,” he said.
The Minister also said that under the leadership of President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, he was certain that the Government would form and implement a consensus on the national question that had evaded previous governments.
“We will use our collective political will to construct a great peace for our country,” Samaraweera said.
