GTF: Vote to consolidate gains made since Jan.8
View(s):The Global Tamil Forum (GTF) has urged the Tamil people and all citizens of Sri Lanka to do their historic duty at the forthcoming Parliamentary elections by carefully voting for the parties and candidates with the main objective of consolidating the progressive changes and gains made during the recent past.
In a statement, the GTF said the Presidential election of January 8 was a turning point in the recent political history of Sri Lanka, where voters overwhelmingly rejected the undemocratic, corrupt, intolerant and violent political culture practised at that time.
“Undoubtedly, that election’s outcome brought welcome changes that included the adoption of the progressive 19th Amendment to the Constitution, the expansion of the democratic space available for freedom of expression,” the GTF statement said.
