The Hon. K. Ilankumaran
Hon. K. Ilankumaran responded to references made to him by Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna, rejecting allegations of inaction or self-interest. He stated that a committee of local shop owners and residents had been formed to improve the Jaffna bus stand area, including painting, cleaning, and installing CCTV cameras. He also criticized public claims made on YouTube and defended his work as focused on delivering for the Tamil people.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, when Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna mentioned my name, I must respond. In the Jaffna bus stand area, we have formed a committee together with local shop owners and residents. We are not in politics to make money. Unlike claims made on YouTube that “there is nothing to do after Parliament,” we work daily to deliver for the Tamil people. We have initiated painting, cleaning, and installing CCTV cameras at the bus stand. We do not idly cruise around in vehicles; we act. If one had simply kept from reckless statements, even election results might have been kinder. Thank you.
