Independent presidential candidate P. Ariyanethran unveiled his policy statement, presenting the Tamil National Common Structure for the upcoming election.
The manifesto explains that a Tamil common candidate was nominated this year due to the Tamil people’s seven-decade-long struggle for their rights, which has yet to yield satisfactory answers.
The manifesto calls for the constitution to recognize the independence and self-determination of the Tamil people as a solution to the national question.
It emphasizes moving forward as a united country while ensuring the diversity of Sri Lanka’s population.
The manifesto argues that the political aspirations of the Tamil people cannot be fulfilled under the current unitary state framework.
It asserts that the Tamil people should have the right to seek international support for their chosen solutions.
Arianethran calls for international investigations into genocide and war crimes.
The policy statement, which includes nine fundamental points, underscores the need for a new approach to address the longstanding issues faced by the Tamil community in Sri Lanka.
