• Jaffna District Independent MP Archuna Ramanathan gained attention when he occupied the Opposition Leader’s seat in the chambers and refused to leave, despite repeated requests from Parliament staff

Jaffna District Independent MP Archuna Ramanathan paid tribute to slain LTTE leader Veluppillai Prabhakaran claiming that Prabakaran was his god.Posting a live video, he said his father was a former police officer of the Sri Lankan government and that he had joined the LTTE police in 1987.

“My father was a police officer of the Sri Lankan government. He worked everywhere in the country. He moved to Jaffna after the 1983 riots and started a liberation from that time against government due to racist treatment,” he said.

“We are not racists. We are Sri Lankan Tamils. We remember the lives lost during the war this month. Prabakaran, my god, we are not against the Sinhala people but only the Sinhala government which killed us,” he said.
