The demonstration rally of the Tamil Rasu Party in Batticaloa started with garlanding of the statue of the founder of the Tamil Rasu Party, Father Selva.
Sri Lanka’s Independence Day has been declared as a day of celebration in the Tamil homeland, North East and a rally has been carried out from north to east.
Non-violent struggle
Based on that, the non-violent demonstration of the Tamil Republic Party in Batticaloa this morning started from the memorial of Father Selva and went up to the Kalladi Bridge in Batticaloa, where people gathered on both sides of the bridge and peacefully expressed their opposition to the Independence Day.
Although Sri Lanka gained independence from British colonialism in 1948, it remains an Independence Day for the majority community.
Room Cowell for International
Tamils living in Sri Lanka have not been given freedom for 75 years, their rights have been denied, ethnic neglect and suppression methods are continuously taking place and there is no independence day for Sri Lankan Tamils until they get their freedom.
Rights struggle
As an example to the international community that justice for Tamils has not yet been achieved, rights struggles have been carried out everywhere in the Tamil homeland.
