TNA says Saudi not a friend of Tamils” Published in all media dateline in Colombo.

Hon. MP. S. Yogeswaran,

How dare you say that Suadi Arabia is not a friend of the Tamils of Sri Lanka. Did you know that many of the LTTE cadres who escaped and could not seek asylum in Western countries and North America, managed themselves into Middle Eastern countries, especially Saudi Arabia. Go ask the Foreign employment bureau or Foreign employment agencies to know how many Sri Lankan Tamils from the North and East are presently gainfully employed in Saudi Arabia and or the Middle Eastern countries. How much of Saudi Riyals are sent to their families and extended families in Sri Lanka, including your electorate Batticaloa, as a result they are leading some what a comfortable life. These Tamil  brothers and sisters live in harmony with the Sri Lanka Muslims and the Sinhalese who are mostly work colleagues with them. If the Saudi government had NOT allowed this expatriate employment facility for Sri Lanka, with out “RACISM” which you have uttered in parliament, what would have been their situation. Just because Saudi and or other Middle eastern countries voted in favour of the US sponsored UN resolution against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC last March, that maybe an issue to you. We Sri Lankan Muslims cherish that support, though a few Sinhalese are grumbling against the Muslims in Sri Lanka. We will definitely educate to make them understand us clear soon. We are a peace loving community and we do NOT wish to be dragged into your issues. The Arabs are our “brethren in Islam”. Please stop your “dam nonsense” from now onward attacking Muslim countries just for political pittance and gain in parliament.
