Karuna works on grasping fluency in Sinhala
The leader of paramilitary Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Puligal (TMVP) is spending “most of his time” in grasping fluency in Sinhala. Karuna spoke to ‘Lakbima’ daily, and said his primary goal is to enter Sri Lanka parliament as a fluent Sinhala speaker.
Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan alias Karuna, also said he wishes to see an environment where both Tamils and Sinhalese learn each other’s language.
Also, reports say the TMVP has asked the government to enroll 1,000 armed cadres to the Sri Lanka Police and armed forces, quoting a party spokesman.
TMVP leader Karuna was released from a jail in London in June, after serving three months for entering Britain on a forged visa and diplomatic passport.
“The British government had an alleged war criminal in custody for six months and couldn’t manage to file charges,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
