June 5, 2014
Responding to the recent statement issued by the Friday Forum titled “Post-war realities in the Northern Province”, the opposition leader of the Northern Provincial Council last night said although the Friday Forum has met cross section of the society in Jaffna & Kilinochchi, its representatives have not made any attempt to seek the opinion of the Leader of Opposition of the Northern Provincial Council.
S. Thavarajah
Sending a letter to the Friday Forum, S. Thavarajah, the opposition leader of the Northern Provincial Council said; “It is evident from the Chief Minister’s Speech that neither the President nor the government is causing any hindrance to invite funds from the Tamil Diaspora and to start investment as stated in the Election Manifesto. However, up to now not a single investment has come into the Northern Province. Who is responsible for this? Whether it is the inability of the elected body or the impediment caused by the Government?”
