(Text of Speech made by TNA Jaffna District Parliamentarian M.A.Sumanthiran M.P. in Parliament on 22nd September 2022)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you Hon. Deputy speaker for the opportunity to speak a few words at today\u2019s debate. The Hon. Minister for aviation was here for a moment ago, I want to raise a matter with regard to Palali air Port. That\u2019s an International airport, it was opened, and there were flights from Madras, then due to Covid all flight were suspended. <\/p>\n

Now, this has not resumed yet, and even when it resumes the cost of the airfare is prohibitive. The reason for that is that the airport taxes are so high that people will not be able to afford it \u2013 the Hon. Minister is now coming into the Chambers.<\/p>\n

I have spoken to the Hon. Minister about it, the Mattala airport \u2013 airport taxes have been waved and we have been asking that the Palali airport taxes also be waved. Because unlike Mattala, Palali when you resume, will have a steady traffic and that\u2019ll be good for our economy. And therefore I am requesting the minister again to please wave the airport tax for Palali airport and there will be a steady stream of traffic.<\/p>\n

So as we deal with the issues today, in the North and the East, there are other issues that people are facing particularly with regard to the Lands.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yesterday, in Kurunthoor malai there was a demonstration with regard to new constructions that were being undertaken by the Department of Archaeology. Two of our members were arrested saying that they had disrupted the officials from functioning.<\/p>\n

Now Archaeology is entrusted with the responsibility of preserving archaeological monuments. We know that where there are archaeological monuments, those must be preserved, but, they don\u2019t have the authority to build anew. And there are court orders, restraining them from building new structures, and yet, when people demonstrate against illegal activity by the department of archaeology, they are being arrested. So I want to raise this issue.<\/p>\n

Sir Paul Peiris a renowned historian has written that long before the advent to Prince Wijaya to this Island, there existed five Eashwarams and one of those is Thirukoneswaram. Thirugnanasambanthar had sung about this temple in the 7th century B.C. So, it\u2019s ancient, this was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1624, but it was rebuilt in 1959. <\/p>\n

This is now designated as an archaeological site. But using the fact that it is an archaeological site, it is indeed an archaeological site, there are now, efforts to bring in new people from other districts particularly from the Ratnapura district. <\/p>\n

There was one politician who took people from Ratnapura district, settled them there, and traders, in that area and now there are 58 shops that have been set up, and now efforts are being made to grant land from this Archaeological site to these 58 shop owners who are actually aliens in that area, they have been brought and been settled there to change the demography. <\/p>\n

This must be immediately stopped. The issues that our people are facing today particularly with regard to land being grabbed by archaeology, by Mahaweli, by the forest department, by wild life department, various other special laws are used to take away lands on which Tamil people have lived for centuries. Now this is something that must immediately stopped. <\/p>\n
