International community must help Tamils to achieve
-Jaffan Bishop Rev Thomas Soundaranayakam
Jaffna Bishop Rev Thomas Soundaranayakam has called upon the
international community to assist Tamils to get their
self-determination without any further delay. He made this
call in the statement he released in connection with the
upcoming Pongu Tamil event in Jaffna on the 30th of this
month. He further said in the statement,
“Tamils waited with patience and hope after placing their
trust in the ceasefire agreement and the memorandum of
understanding. Time is running fast without any of their
expectations fulfilled. Government even gave up on the P-TOMS for the tsunami
relief. How can it resolve the longstanding problem of the
Tamil people? Time has arrived for the Tamil people to show to the
Government and the international community their situation.
Enough of the waiting let up rise up for the rights”, he
said.
