Antare recently held a conference in Jaffna city demanding the repeal of the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Civil and political activists of Jaffna joined it.
Also, about 25 people from Douglas Devananda’s (EPDP) party came with a local council president and gave a voice cut to the media in front of the hall.
He said that they don’t have the problems we are saying. And he himself said that he is EPDP that he does not know about any struggle.
the truth. The issues we are talking about are not for Douglas’s party, nor for the incoming president.
Douglas has no problem with issuing a death certificate for his missing child.
The repression we say in PTA is not for that party because it is cuddling in the lap of the government.
Therefore, it should be changed to say that the people of Jaffna protested yesterday… and that the EPDP party opposed. This is a situation to be expected because it is a challenge to their power politics. But it didn’t matter to us. Conferences were held. He came to Colombo after walking in Jaffna, eating the food prepared by the people there and playing cricket in the evening. We will go to Jaffna again soon.
Wasantha and others in Jaffna!
