Jaffna District MP Archchuna Ramanathan declared in Parliament today (05) that Jaffna should be handed over to Tamil Nadu along with the Kachchatheevu Island, claiming the people of Tamil Nadu would offer better protection to Sri Lankan Tamils.

Addressing the Parliament, MP Archchuna congratulated Indian actor‑turned‑politician C. Joseph Vijay on his recent electoral victory. 

He noted that when Vijay requested Kachchatheevu, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake had refused, adding: “Along with Kachchatheevu, Jaffna too should be given to Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu people will protect us.”

The MP made the remarks while raising concerns over electricity shortages in northern islands. 

He revealed that during a recent visit to Delft Island, electricity was supplied only five days a week, and questioned when the government would guarantee uninterrupted power to the region. (Newswire)
