The Hon. Aravinda Senarath
Legal action and court orders related to the area are not being pursued on an ethnic basis but against any parties linked to unlawful activity, regardless of ethnicity or status. Ministry of Lands officials, including officers of the Land Commissioner General, are conducting site inspections and field studies to gather information and prepare a formal response to the concerns previously raised.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, court action is not taken on an ethnic basis. Legal action has been instituted irrespective of ethnicity or status wherever relevant. While the impression is raised that orders unfairly target one community in that area, the documents show action has been taken against any group linked to unlawful activity regardless of ethnicity. You may also peruse these records.
¶ 02 Officers of the Ministry of Lands are already intervening, conducting site inspections and field studies and gathering information in these areas. As you have previously raised aspects of this issue, the Ministry, through the officers of the Land Commissioner General, is presently in the field collecting information to provide you with a formal response.
