TNA refuses to budge on PSC
The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has refused to budge on its stand with regards to the Parliament Select Committee (PSC).
President Mahinda Rajapaksa had requested TNA leader R. Sambanthan last evening to nominate members to the PSC however Sambanthan had rejected the request.
TNA MP M.A Sumanthiran told The Sunday Leader that the TNA leader had reiterated to the President that the TNA will nominate representatives only after there is an agreement in bilateral talks between the TNA and the government.
Sumanthiran said that the meeting between the TNA leader and the President took place last evening following an invitation put forward by the President.
The TNA has had several rounds of discussions with the government on a political solution to the national issue but the talks have often ended in disagreement over various issues.
The government has been insisting that future bilateral talks with the TNA can take place only after the TNA nominates members to the PSC.
The PSC on a political solution has failed to kick off owing to the boycott of the TNA.
Everytime the government cheated, the Tamil leaders and the Tamils, learned many things and grew more and more strong in spirit. When MR strikes the chord of “psc” they are no more the same crow who lost the ‘wade’ to the fox.
mahinda raja, wat happen to the PSC which was created few years back? n wat happen to the report it submitted? ya, the report papers probably used as toilet papers in temple trees
goes toilet paper in temple tree running out, so another PSC
utter waste of time n money
Good, show these terrorist backers the door.
I wonder why all of a sudden the President invited TNA for a meeting and asked TNA to participate in the PSC. There is something fishy in his invitation. The same President of ours only few weeks back told that TNA is a proxy of LTTE. Why our President has changed his mind. Is there any thing behind this. My advice to TNA is not to give in to the request of our President. Our President has fooled lot of foreign countries. He is now trying his best to come out of the problem he is going to face in Geneva. The Tamils have suffered enough in hands of Mahinda Rajapakse and his brother Gothabaya. Those who committed crimes have to pay for those crimes.
