Development in the North-East cannot take place without a permanent political solution in place, the TNA MP for Vanni District, Sivasakthi Ananthan, was quoted by the Uthayan as saying.
"Several thousands of millions of rupees is required to do development in North East, but the government cannot get this sum without finding a permanent solution," he said on Saturday.
"The govt has misjudged that it can win over the international community just as it did the war, but the truth is, without finding Tamils a permanent solution, it cannot win over the international community," he further added.
Mr Ananthan also criticised the lack of action taken over the Manthai West regional assistant government official, who has been accused by residents of economically weakening the people affected by the armed conflict.
The TNA has complained about the official in parliament and informed the ministry of him, yet no actions have been taken against him, Mr Ananthan added.
