Founder of Tamil Desiya Munnani, P. Nedumaran, has stated on Wednesday that All the Sinhalese people, who “were settled” in Tamil areas in Sri Lanka, should be evacuated.

Addressing media in Madurai, he had said that the new government in Sri Lanka should merge the Northern and Eastern provinces and accord the right to land and policing rights to the local government, if it wanted to win the faith of Tamils, Nedumaran has added.

Addressing reporters in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, he has said that he would take the promise of Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe on implementing the 13th Amendment with a pinch of salt.

“Such a move should get Sri Lankan Parliament’s ratification to make it legal or else it will face the same fate as in the past,” he has said.

Meanwhile Nedumaran has criticized the government’s decision on an enquiry into alleged “War Crimes.” The government too took the same stand as that of Mahinda Rajapaksa, by not allowing an independent enquiry into the war crimes and human rights violations as per the resolution of United Nations Human Rights Council, he has said.

Nedumaran, who is now 81, has been a prominent LTTE sympathizer in Tamil Nadu for years.
