His Excellency Mahinda Rajapaksa
President of Sri Lanka,
Temple Trees,
Colombo – 3.
Your Excellency,
This is to bring to your kind notice that the All Party Committee as constituted now has no proper representation for the Tamils of the North and the East. Of the 23 Tamil Members representing these two Provinces only the EPDP, that has one seat, is represented in APC.
I need not remind you of the observations of all the Election Monitoring Teams that operated during the last Parliamentary Elections. Some Teams had even recommended re-poll in these two Provinces. Further more as proxies of the LTTE they are boycotting the Meetings of the APC and also at the same time going round the world claiming as the duly elected representatives.
Hence I suggest that the Political Parties that had representation in Parliament in the past too, be included in the Committee. The TULF, PLOTE and the EPDP had 18, 3 and 3 members respectively in the previous Parliament. Kindly consider including these three parties also in the APC.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
V. Anandasangaree,
President – TULF.
