Statements from the Foreign Ministry<\/strong> that are ambiguous \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 with reference to the status of the TNA<\/p>\n

    \n
  • US Policy<\/strong>-According to a statement made by the US Ambassador designate to Sri Lanka, the United States supports a Federal Structure<\/strong> as a catalyst for national reconciliation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • TNA\u2019s discriminatory Claim-<\/strong> there is a Sinhalese influx into North Lanka \u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \n
          • Several false statements on the US Senate floor by a leading US senator with information given by the Foreign Minister, a couple of them below:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            1. For years, impunity for serious crimes has been the norm in Sri Lanka\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

            \u00a0 2.\u201dUnder the government of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Armed Forces day was “Victory Day”, a divisive, provocative celebration for the Sinhalese majority.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. <\/em>The return of land in the north and east currently occupied<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              by the Armed Forces, and the resettlement of Tamils displaced by the war and the provision of basic services, is an urgent necessity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
