News Details:
It is emphasized that the struggle for the life and rights of Tamils must be genuinely united across all Tamil communities. However, some individuals advance protests for personal political, business, or self-serving interests; such attempts should not concern the public.
The Jaffna Traders’ Association has announced that it will not recognize a political party’s call for a hartal. Similarly, the Vavuniya Traders’ Association has stated that commercial establishments will operate normally on the upcoming Monday (18/08/2025).
The protests announced by Sumandran, supposedly for Tamils, are deemed ineffective. Withdrawing from Tamil politics is considered the only real support he can provide to the Tamil people. Announcing protests without challenging the single-party political system, or by supporting any existing state actions, will not resolve the circumstances created by Sinhala state terrorism. Protests declared without authority or real power are considered fruitless.
On Monday, Tamil homelands will operate 100% as usual, as confirmed by the business associations.
