Tamil National Alliance parliament member Mawai Senathiraja urged the necessity of government’s special funds allocations to build the lives of north and east people.The 2013 budget was proposed without considering the difficulties and hardships of the north and east people, was alleged by him yesterday in parliament.
While he addressed the debate for finance, planning ministries group discussion, he said, three years have gone after the end of war, but poverty is still prevailing in the north and east and now it has got augmented. Without considering the hardships of northern people, economy ratings are carried out in Sri Lanka.
Still a situation has not risen for the north and east people, to do a job in their own land and to live from its income.
Two third areas in our land are constructed with military camps. The military occupation in the north and east should be reduced. The lands which are confiscated by the military should be withdrawn.
More lands are confiscated by the military; hence two lacks of Eelam refugees sheltered in India are not able to return to their native land. One lacks of people are displaced internally.
A citizen who has lived from his birth in the same place, should be resettled is established in the UN Human Rights Council’s declaration.
We did not ask to remove the military but we are again and again requesting to reduce the military occupation and to withdraw from the lands confiscated.
2 lacks and 18 thousand houses should be constructed for those affected by war. Out of this 50 thousand homes are constructed by the Indian government. Some world countries and non-government organizations are building 100 houses. This is not sufficient.
Government’s systemized activities necessary to build the lives of north and east people. 0.03 percent finance is allocated in the 2013 budget for the Resettlement Ministry. Is it enough to build the lives of people?
Meanwhile to construct houses for the military 1,000 million rupees are allocated. Their parents are given special allowances. We are not objecting this, but similarly more attention should be focused in regard to north and east people which we appeal was mentioned by him.
