History to abet 'structural genocide'
TamilNet, Saturday, 22 November 2008, 12:39 GMT
The Colombo government at the height of its agenda for 'structural genocide' of Tamils, considered removing a chapter on the Kingdom of Jaffna in the history textbooks of the school children in Sri Lanka. However, to an opposing question by a JVP member in the Sri Lankan Parliament, the Minister of Education replied on Friday that they had dropped that plan. 'The Colombo government has every justification to remove the Tamil Kingdom of Jaffna from the history of Sri Lanka if it wants to concede that Sri Lanka doesn't include the Tamil regions,' commented Selvam Adaikkalanathan, the Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian of Vanni.
