Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna urged Tamil unity and called on authorities to implement promised projects rather than only holding foundation-stone ceremonies. He referred to weapons reportedly found at a proposed playground site in Mandaitivu and alleged that excavations in areas such as Chemmany would reveal many skeletal remains. He concluded by commemorating Thileepan.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I conclude.

¶ 02 As Tamils, we must think and proceed in unity. Also, please do what you announce; do not deceive us by merely laying stones. Today, dangerous weapons were found at the planned playground site in Mandaitivu. If you dig in many places in our areas—even like Chemmany—you will find thousands of skeletons. With sorrow, remembering Thileepan, I conclude. Thank you.
