Tamil people must act in collaboration against the expectations of the Southern Sinhala people, regarding Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s victory and prevent Sinhala leaders from emerging victorious, Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Spokesman and MP, M.A. Sumanthiran said.
At the upcoming Presidential Election, all the Tamil people must unite to stifle the ‘Gotabaya menace,’ he stressed.
He made these statements at a public rally held in Maankulam, Mullaitivu, to express support for NDF Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa.
The Tamil people must act to stop another Rajapaksa family-administration, including Gotabaya Rajapaksa, without giving them any opportunity to resurface, he emphasised, adding that the Tamil people in the North and East must unite to vote for Sajith Premadasa at the Presidential election.
The Tamil people, who ended the Mahinda Rajapaksa administration, should now take action to drive out Gotabaya Rajapaksa. In 2005, the Rajapaksa family came into power because the Tamil people didn’t vote, he added.
He added, “One Presidential candidate, in his election manifesto, has stated that he will devolve power in a unitary and an undivided country. Although one candidate had the strength to make such a statement, no such statement can be found in Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s election manifesto.
They don’t have the strength to at least present a solution to the national issue or to make a statement in that connection. Therefore, we request the Tamil people to vote for New Democratic Front Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa.”
