The Hon. Amirthanathan Adaikkalanathan
Hon. Amirthanathan Adaikkalanathan opposed the acquisition of privately titled lands for Navy use, stating that the owners would not accept compensation in place of their land. He urged that the plots be returned to their owners and that, if necessary, adjoining land be allocated to the Navy instead.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we are not asking the Navy to leave. But acquiring the people’s titled lands and offering compensation is unacceptable; they will not accept compensation. Give the owners back their plots and, if there is adjoining land available, allocate that to the Navy. We oppose acquisition of these specific private plots to be handed to the Navy.
