Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) today urged Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to reveal the promises made by him to the Tamil separatists and Western forces before the dawn of the New Year 2017.

Addressing a media briefing, PHU General Secretary MP Udaya Gammanpila said earlier Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader C.V.Wigneswaran and MP M.A. Sumanthiran had urged the Government to fulfill the promise made by them to the TNA and other international forces.

“Everyone stresses the Government to fulfill their promises, but nobody is willing to reveal what are these promises. The Government has not even mentioned such kind of promises in the Presidential and Parliamentary Election Policies,” he added.

He said the Government had still not fulfilled even a single demand of the TNA and added that the people should have the utmost right to know what were the promises made by the Government to them.

He said perhaps President Maithripala Sirisena could be unaware of these issues since the Prime Minister and the Foreign Affairs Minister were usually engaged in matters related to the international forces in order to topple the former Government.

“The Prime Minister should immediately reveal these promises to the country. Only then we will be able to predict whether 2017 would be a prosperous year or not,” he added. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

    There are more important things the public need know than the stupid questions you have. You guys are looking for political mileage and that's it.

    We live in a peaceful world. After defeating Tamil Tigers we all are now happily living in Sri Lanka. Udaya is all out to create another riots and his only hope is to have another war. That will never happen and also Udaya will never become a minister again.

    This type of articles very clearly show as to the status of poor level these news parers have fallen out. They have no news articles. This man is a wanted man in Australia. He has robbed money through a forged documents. He should be in jail. I cannot understand the logic behind these type of articles.

    Answer is simple as usual all politicians from various parties have been promising "equal rights for all citizens irrespective of their linguistic and religious affinities". People also fool enough to believe these gimmicks since 1948.Nobody should trust them like these promises (like from the drunkards )..nothing is going to happen as politicians are like chameleons..their gratitude or Vishvas changes as per the situation demands.
