63 speeches- 10 June 2026 AI summary Hon. Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy rejected allegations about misuse of “Rebuilding Sri Lanka” funds, saying they risk deterring diaspora contributions, and linked current economic policy to the need to bring export-earned foreign exchange through the formal banking system after legitimate business expenses. He argued that artistic expressions such as those linked to the arrest of Kilinochchi rap artist Sangeethsan should be understood in the context of unresolved Tamil grievances, including land, disappearances, power-sharing, development, education and employment, rather than treated as a return to militancy. He affirmed the NPP Government’s position against any return to war or ethnic violence and called for inclusive governance, avoidance of provocations, and policies that ensure economic benefits and equality for all communities.
