Our Hon PM Thiru @narendramodi avl worked closely with Thiru Sampanthan avl in delivering India’s welfare aid in the Northern region of the island country.

From championing political representation to striving for justice for Tamils in Sri Lanka for the last 5 decades, his continuous persistence to implement the 13th Amendment has laid the path for the upcoming leaders to follow. (2/2)

R Sampanthan, one of Sri Lanka's most prominent politicians and a veteran campaigner for the country's Tamil minority, has died at the age of 91.

//…point made by MP M.A. Sumanthiran…He said that instead of coming to the Tamil people and giving promises, the main Presidential candidates should explain their plans for a political solution to the national ethnic problem to the Sinhalese people…//

Structural economic reforms don't always require govt. spending. Prof. Shanta Devarajan suggests energy subsidy, agricultural policy, and corporate #Tax reform as key structural reforms.

Twitter is rolling out View Count, so you can see how many times a tweet has been seen! This is normal for video.

Shows how much more alive Twitter is than it may seem, as over 90% of Twitter users read, but don’t tweet, reply or like, as those are public actions.

/Until an adequate macroeconomic policy framework is in place, the World Bank does not plan to offer new financing to Sri Lanka. This requires deep structural reforms that focus on economic stabilization, and also on addressing the root structural causes/

A new govt should agree... it is serving on an interim basis & commit itself to fresh elections before the end of 2022... Fresh & relatively quick polls appear essential to restoring the legitimacy of the presidency, parliament & political order as a whole.https://t.co/i7FNbdT1lY
