Mr Sampanthan said that he and his party are pushing the Sri Lankan government for a solution to the disappeared issue.
“I speak very sternly with the President and Prime Minister, I said my people need an answer. They said to wait just a little longer for answers,” Virakesari quotes the party leader as saying.
“Let us all pray to God that the missing persons issue, settlement issue, and all the people’s issues are resolved.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
