TNA complains to British HC against govt.
The Tamil National Alliance (TNA), during a discussion, informed the British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Sarah Hulton that the government had failed to implement any recommendation made by the UN Human Rights Commission, TNA leader, R. Sampanthan said yesterday.
Sampanthan made this statement after meeting Hulton. TNA’s M. A. Sumanthiran, Selvam Adaikalanathan and Mavai Senathirajah too took part in the discussion.
“The High Commissioner was happy to talk to us. We spoke at length about the UNHRC as well as accountability. We told her about the current situation in the North and East and that Provincial Councils need more power,” he said.
The TNA leader added that they had informed Hulton of the issues faced by the Tamil people due to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
“We also discussed how to tackle the COVID-19 situation as well as COVID eradication,” Sampanthan told journalists.
