The plaque that had been erected to mark the opening of the Smart Library of the Attorney General's Department, by an inadvertent omission did not contain the script in the Tamil Language, has been removed, Attorney General’s Coordinating Officer Nishara Jayaratne said.

She said it is being replaced with a new Plaque.

The Smart Library of the Attorney General’s Department was declared open by Attorney General Dappula de Livera and Chinese Ambassador Qi Zhenhong last Wednesday. Interestingly, the plaque that had been erected to mark the opening of the library was only in Sinhala, English and Mandarin, ignoring Tamil, one of the two official languages of Sri Lanka.

I saw a news heading on the Peoples Channel which was in English and Chinese, both the text and the video. I hope this too will be removed and a apology made to the viewers.

So this another kick back from China. Was there no one with commonsense when it was being put up to instruct that the Tamil language was missing. Now spend tax payers money again to correct. What has become of this country. What do they eat grass.

In future, it’ll be only Mandarin, Has anybody asked why a plaque in SL’s AG’s office should have any mandarin writings??
