Step motherly treatment for Tamils and Muslims

Monday, 18 March 2013
Eastern Provincial Councilor Thilai Arasan says that divisional secretariats in areas inhabited by Sinhalese have been allocated more funds than those are inhabited by Tamil and Muslim people when monies are allocated for development activities in the Ampara District targeting the Deyata Kirula exhibition.
The councilor says that there are 20 divisional secretariats in the Ampara District. He has explained that 13 divisional secretariats where Tamil and Muslim people inhabited had been allocated Rs. 572 million. However, the seven divisional secretariats where Sinhalese inhabit have been allocated Rs. 791.85 million. He has observed that the monies have not been divided in a fair manner.
The councilor has pointed out that the divisional secretariats in Samanthurai, Potuvil, Akkaraipattu, Adalachchena, Iranakamam, Nindavur, Kalmunai, Thirukkovil and Vidaveli in Tamil and Muslim areas have faced this unfair action.
The divisional secretariats in Ampara, Dehiattakandiya, Uhana, Lahugala, Maoya, Padiyathalawa and Uppayaya have received higher allocations. Deyata Kirula is to be held in Ampara from March 23rd till the 29th.
