As a public representative, State Minister Vijayakala Maheswaran had no right to make comments which promotes separatism according to Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna MP Vijitha Herath. “She must apologise to the society at large for the statement,” he said at a press briefing yesterday held in parliament.
“We condemn her statement” he further said adding that MP’s are bound to swear they will not work towards dividing the country. “She broke this oath” he accused.
He also suggested that Maheswaran must face an inquiry and steps must be taken against her. “If not this will set a bad precedent” he added recalling the atrocities committed by the LTTE.
Hearth also challenged the government to voice their stance regarding her statement.
