TNA Obstructs  Industrial Development in the North  – Rishad

During the committee stage debate on the vote of expenditure to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Parliament  yesterday , Vanni MP Charles Nirmalanathan questioned  the Minister of  Industry and Commerce Rishad Bathiudeen, as to whether  he was able to restore  KKS cement factory , Paranthan Chemicals and oddichuddan  tiles factory?   In reply  Minister  Rishad Bathiudeen said, thus’’  I sought advice and assistances of TNA  and other north politicians  to restore KKS factory . But no one came forward to assist me.  They said, there were complicated problems involved in it. Therefore  don’t blame me’’,  he replied.
Vanni MP Charles Nirmalanathan  in response said, instead of negotiating with our leaders and the Northern Provincial Council , Minister  should talk to the  Members of the Parliament of the North. Then only we can place our  problems before you to  resolve it, he concluded.
