Minister of Plantation Industries Navin Dissanayake says he personally believes that Tamil people must be granted the powers of land and police vested by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.
Addressing an event held in Mullaitivu, the minister stressed Sinhalese leaders must heed the demands of the Tamil people.
If their demands are not attended to, the country will have to face a tremendous issue in the future, Minister Dissanayake said further.
The minister stated that he expects to seek a fair solution for this issue, along with Tamil political leaders, by calling for a referendum in the areas where Sinhalese majority reside.

Navin Dissanayake is a bloody fool and a traitor, fanning the flames of separatism just to get Tamil Votes in the upcoming elections!
People should NEVER AGAIN ELECT these TRAITORS to public office!

This man in Kandy said upcountry people need a man from Uda Rata to be president – just what Uda Rata Thumpane idiots want to hear. Now among the Tamils he is promising what Tamils want to hear. Like a frog he has jumped ship many times. He is even more unreliable than his father who was another bootlicker for India. This man is utterly untrustworthy and should be rejected by all and sundry.
How insensitive, insincere and disingenuous he is, was seen when he was speaking about the Easter Sunday attacks. He should not be trusted and he will never make a good politician.

@Ananda-USA, I agree with you. Navin is as stupid and as conscienceless as Sajith. They are already stoking racist passions among the minorities against the majority community. But this time the minorities are more enlightened, I think. Vinayagamurthy Muralidaran recently assured the SLPP that Tamils in the East and North are supporting Gotabhaya. Traitors Sajith and Navin should never be allowed even to dream of becoming president. Navin was among a group of UNP ministers who were loudly laughing in a very casual, careless mood while dispersing after a meeting that discussed the April 21 bombings, a day or two following the incidents. Navin vowed to install “a fully UNP” administration after the next election by hook or by crook. He tried to cozy up to Gotabhaya at a religious event praising him as a capable man who deserves to be considered even for the post of president (This was one or two months ago); his hypocrisy was evident to the audience, I thought.

This STUPENDOUS MYOPIA is why the UNP will suffer an electoral loss in the upcoming elections comparable to Sir John Kothalawala’s catastrophe in 1956 at SWRD’s hands.
They will LOSE Sinhala votes WHOLESALE, and will get only the votes of Tamil SEPARATISTS and Sharia Law adherents!
The UNP JUST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PATRIOTISM! NEVER Have, Never Will!
It is an alien concept to them, and the lives of the ordinary citizens of Sri Lanka just does not matter to them!
