TNA to make a full presentation before LLRC [September 13 2010]

Tamil National Alliance (TNA) plans to make a full presentation when their Members of Parliament testify before the presidential Commission on Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation when they meet in Kilinochchi on September 16, 17 and 18.

TNA Leader R. Sampanthan has said that his party has accepted the invitation to testify before the Commission and has said that it will testify before the Commission. “The problems of the Tamil people must be presented and we plan to give a complete picture. When we testify, ours will be a fairly full presentation in regard to the entire history of that total period," he was quoted as saying. The Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission was mandated by President Mahinda Rajapaksa to look into "the failure" of the ceasefire signed between the government and the LTTE in 2002 and "related matters" until May 19, 2009.
