Sunday Island

November 09, 2025

The ITAK (Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kadchi) has written to President Anura Kumara Dissanayake protesting against an alleged move to appoint some individuals with a defence sector background to vacant posts in the Office of Reparations.

The letter signed by ITAK President CVK Sivagnanam and General Secretary MA Sumnthiram says they they have “reliably understood that four names have been recommended for appointment to the Office of Reparations recently and that two of them have security sector backgrounds.

This is in addition to the fact that the fifth member is a Major General!”
