I am the perfect Sri Lankan- Mano


Minister of National Co-existence Dialogue and Official Languages Mano Ganesan in an interview with the  spoke on the process of reconciliation, issues surrounding the implementation of the official languages policy and many more. Excerpts:

Q You’ve been given a very pivotal ministry, but you are a representative of Colombo, while 
the militancy emanated from an entirely different territory. How do you reconcile these two? How does Mano Ganesan from Colombo reconcile these two facets?
Maybe I was chosen because I came in from the streets and through civil society. I have been a non- traditional Human Rights fighter, agitator  and defender. So, I think I’m more suitable to this post. The President, and the Prime Minister would have thought so as well when picking MPs for Ministerial portfolios.
