TNA MP Sumanthiran says President had assured visiting Indian Minister he’s committed to wellbeing of all Lankans
Appreciates Dr. Jaishankar for supporting reconciliation and devolution

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) would support the Government in its vision to achieve an all-inclusive Sri Lanka in keeping with the assurances reportedly given by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to visiting Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar that he is firmly committed to the wellbeing of all Sri Lankans.

TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran told Parliament on Wednesday that he thanked the Indian External Affairs Minister for his remarks supporting the reconciliation process and devolution in the country. Dr. Jaishankar in his remarks on Wednesday said it is in Sri Lanka’s own interest that the expectations of the Tamil people for equality, justice, peace and dignity within a united Sri Lanka are fulfilled.

“That applies equally to the commitments made by the Sri Lankan Government on meaningful devolution, including the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. The progress and prosperity of Sri Lanka will surely be advanced as a consequence,” the Indian Minister said.

Dr. Jaishankar met with TNA Leader R. Sampanthan and a delegation from the TNA during his visit to Sri Lanka.
