FREE MALAYSIA TODAYKUALA LUMPUR: Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy has warned the Malaysian Government there are already protests by local Tamil groups against former Sri Lanka president Mahinda Rajapaksa being invited to attend a conference in Kuala Lumpur.
The Malaysian Government is being totally insensitive and uncaring towards the tragic plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka, added Ramasamy. “It should not invite Rajapaksa to attend the conference on ‘Asian Political Parties’ from September 1-4, 2016 at the Putra World Trade Centre in the Federal Capital.”
Rajapaksa allegedly unleashed terror on innocent Tamils in the north and east of Sri Lanka during the civil war, he pointed out. “Hundreds of thousands were killed, thousands went missing and thousands of women and children were raped and sexually abused.”
By inviting Rajapaksa, he reiterated, the organisers have shown they are not sensitive. “Tamils in Malaysia are concerned about the plight of their brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka.”
