Leader of the Opposition and major Tamil party, Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader, R. Sampanthan has called on the Tamil diaspora to take part in the development of the North and East.
Sampanthan made this request while opening a community centre in the Thennamarawadi area of Trincomalee District, which was built with the assistance of Tamil diaspora in Australia.
Sampanthan said large-scale development plans in some areas of the North and East including Trincomalee can create employment opportunity to the youth in the areas. “Experts in Singapore are showing special interest regarding the development plans and preparing the plans,”which will be completed before the end of the year
He said the Tamil Diaspora can also invest in many ways, open factories and contribute to employment opportunities for the youth.
The Opposition Leader also stressed that a political solution is essential to overcome the economic abyss the country is currently facing.
“A political solution is needed for the whole country, not just for us. This country needs a political solution to save it from the debts. Some malicious parties are trying to complicate it. Even our people, without a clear understanding, are working selfishly to gain political advantage,” the Opposition Leader said.
