Minister of Transport
Dallas Alahapperuma says the grievances of Tamil-speaking people since olden times need an immediate political solution.
He was speaking at a meeting in Matara town on December 13th.
The minister added that no one could reject the claim that there are injustices common to the Tamil speaking people.
(I SAW THIS PART OF SPEECH IN NEWS. THIS IS STRANGE AND SIGNIFICANT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A MINISTER OF RAJAPAKSE GOVT OPENLY ACCEPTED THE GENUINE GRIEVANCES OF TAMILS. NOT EVEN PISSU VITHARANA HAS DONE THAT SO OPENLY.)
