TGTE Minister rebuts Sri Lankan Minister’s comments that his Government has not faced pressure from Tamil diaspora.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, May 14, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ --

A Minister from the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) has
issued a rebuttal for comments made by a Sri Lankan Minister that the
Government of Sri Lanka has not faced pressure from the Tamil diaspora
after the January 8 elections.

Sri Lanka’s Cabinet spokesman and Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said
that “Earlier the media reported on the Tamil diaspora protesting near the
UN and other places. Now we don’t see such media reports."

In a rebuttal to the Sri Lankan Minister’s Statement, Transnational
Government of Tamil Eelam’s Minister for Public Affairs and Media Mr. Suthan Raj
pointed out that when the new Sri Lankan President Mr. Sirsena was visiting
London, thousands of Tamils demonstrated against him, calling him a war
criminal, for being the acting defense minister during the final weeks of
the war when thousands of Tamils were killed. Thousands also marched in
Geneva two months ago against the Sri Lankan Government’s policies towards Tamils and to call for an International Investigation for the mass killing of Tamils by the Sri Lankan security forces.
