Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Even regarding Muslims: at Kurukkalmadam the LTTE killed over 150 Hajj pilgrims and their families returning from Hajj. There is still a case in the Batticaloa Magistrate’s Court; we asked for excavation, but no orders were given and the case lies dormant. We are asking you to take action now. Take action on those matters too; that is what the OMP and your Ministry must do.
