TNA Parliamentarian N. Srikantha joining the debate on the Vote on
Account stated that it would amount to political hypocracy if their
party did not praise the resettlement process led by Senior Presidential
Advisor Basil Rajapaksa and Minister Badhiutheen.
Srikantha thanked MP Rajapaksa and Badhiutheen for taking immediate
measures to resettle the displaced persons in the North and remarked
that almost 100,000 people had already been resettled.
Srikantha requested the Government to pay at least Rs. 50,000 for a
displaced family increasing the amount by Rs. 25,000 which is paid at
present.
He also requested the Government to resettle the rest of the
displaced persons as soon as possible. |
