Sri Lankan refugees say crisis also provides opportunity
Sri Lankan refugees said on Wednesday that the current crisis in Sri Lanka has provided an opportunity to fulfill the aspirations of Tamil citizens and rebuild the country economically. He said the new breed of leaders who shun hegemony and caste-based politics should lead the government formation initiative and involve all sections of the people, including Tamils and Muslims, in their efforts. This will lead to cooperative and firm action, he said.
Of the 112 Tamils who arrived in Tamil Nadu following the recent crisis in Sri Lanka, one woman died and the others were kept in residences in Dakshina Ramanathapuram district. For Tamils living in the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka, the lack of food and fuel, power cuts and lack of employment opportunities is nothing new. R Padmanathan said that this is not new to the Tamil people. For the last 40 years Tamils are living without electricity and facing shortage of everything.
