Three Tamil parties to draft solution

A draft proposal to address Tamil issues is to be formulated by a three member Tamil political party committee; it was decided at a meeting between Tamil political parties held in Mannar.

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and the Tamil National People’s Front (TNPF) attended the meeting together with civil society representatives.

At that meeting it was decided that a three member committee will be appointed to formulate a draft proposal to address some of the Tamil concerns.

Accordingly TNA MP M. Sumanthiran, TNPF leader Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam and lawyer Kumara Gurubaran were appointed as the committee members.

The committee was given two weeks to formulate the draft proposals on a basic solution to the Tamils.

The Tamil parties will meet again on 8 June in Vavuniya for further discussions on Tamil issues. (Colombo Gazette)
