The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has strongly condemned the attacks on Muslim homes, businesses and mosques over the last two days.
“We strongly condemn such violence and call on the authorities to take swift and severe action against the perpetrators,” TNA Spokesman parliamentarian MA Sumanthiran said in a press statement.
He pointed out that it is concerning to hear that such attacks had taken place during curfew thereby exposing the failure of security forces to stop such attacks.
MP Sumanthiran also cautioned that the people might be forced to defend themselves if they feel that the government and the security forces are unwilling or failing to prevent such incidents.
“Do not let another community in Sri Lanka feel that in order to survive in this country, it must fight for itself,” the TNA Spokesman appealed to the government.
He signed off by emphasising that terrorism must not be given room in the country.
