The government’s coalition partner, Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), alleged the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) is violating the Constitution by demanding the government to remove Northern Governor, G.A. Chandrasiri from his post.
JHU’s Legal Advisor, Udaya Gammanpila, addressing an event held in Colombo said, if a governor needs to be removed that has to be done through passing a resolution in the Provincial Council proving that he or she has violated the Constitution or has involved in any misconduct.
“Northern Province Governor has not violated the Constitution nor has he been involved in any other misconduct and no resolution was passed by the Northern Provincial Council to remove him. I am ashamed of the legal knowledge of former Supreme Court judge, C.V. Wigneswaran and counsel M.A. Sumantiran,” he stressed.
He added the TNA has no intention to address the real issues of Tamil community and raise their living standards; it only wants to rouse the feelings of the people in the North.
“Those who got lots of foreign funds to destroy the North have not brought a single dollar to develop the North,” he claimed.
He also noted the Tamil people believe that the TNA is taking them to Eelam, but they are actually heading towards destruction.
He said that once terrorism was defeated political organs related to the terrorist groups were also banned.
“Once Saddam Hussein was defeated his party the Ba'ath Party was banned in Iraq. Similarly when Hitler was defeated his party was also banned in Germany. Our Army defeated the LTTE and at that time we stressed that the little tigers should also be destroyed,” he added. (Ceylon Today Online)
