He urged the Government to ensure fair prices, equitable distribution, prevention of shortages and price spikes, and proper storage standards to avoid spoilage and protect rice quality.

5 December 2024 AI summary Gnanamuththu Srineshan supported the President’s policy commitment to reject ethnic and religious extremism and strengthen the rule of law, while arguing that past governments wasted major mandates without resolving national issues, especially the ethnic question. He called for accountability for assassinations, disappearances, journalist killings, and the Easter attacks, including consideration of Asad Moulana’s testimony, and urged enforcement of court orders against illegal settlements in Mayilathamadu and Maathavanai. He welcomed the President’s recognition of the right to memorialize the dead, but expressed concern that the policy statement was silent on a political solution to the national question and did not propose a common ministry to treat all religions equally.
