The Hon. K. Sujith Sanjaya Perera
K. Sujith Sanjaya Perera urged the Deputy Minister to meet affected residents and provide clear assurances regarding a contested project. He said conflicting statements by government-side politicians were preventing people from using or replanting their lands, and called for clarity on whether the project would proceed, along with guarantees of proper land allocation, due compensation, and prevention of injustice.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, then please convene the affected people and give them assurances. Otherwise, some politicians on your side go around saying, “This will not be implemented; we will not allow it,” which leaves people unable to use their lands or re-plant. Please give an assurance that due compensation will be paid, land properly allocated, and no injustice will occur—and state clearly whether the project will be implemented or not. That is all we ask.
