18 March 2015 11:39 am

Foreign Affairs Minister Mangala Samaraweera today stressed the need to lift the ban on organizations formed by Tamil diaspora members as investigations had revealed that many of them are not affiliated to the LTTE.


The Minister said these diaspora organizations could be used for national reconciliation.


"There are professionals in many spheres including arts, law and academics who have made Sri Lanka proud, among these organizations," he said. (Yohan Perera)
