Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna stated that he represents the people of the North and questioned why the Prevention of Terrorism Act has not been repealed if, as another Member said, LTTE leader Prabhakaran was eliminated in 2009. His intervention sought clarification on the continued justification for the PTA in that context.
