Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian from Ki'linochchi S. Shritharan told TamilNet that the Eezham Tamils viewed the position of SL Governor to North as a shadow of the Sinhala rulers. Tamils have no say in the affairs of the unitary state after losing their sovereignty, said. Although the appointment of a Tamil person was something that should be welcomed, one must also perceive it as nothing else than an acid test for the persona involved, he said. At the same time, Tamils witness the appointment of Shavendra Silva as SL State dealing a blow to the international community's quest for human rights approach, Mr Shritharan said.
