Canadian parliamentarian Rathika Sitsabaiesan, who is on a visit to Jaffna, held discussions with several Tamil National Alliance parliamentarians and Jaffna-based organizations, yesterday and today, sources said.
Jaffna-born Ms. Sitsabaiesan arrived in Sri Lanka on December 28. The Valikamam North Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman accompanied her during her visit to the Sabapahipilai Refugee Camp in Jaffna and met the internally displaced people living there. This refugee camp was also visited by British Prime Minister David Cameron when he was in Sri Lanka last month.
Ms. Sitsabaiesan is also reported to have met TNA MP S. Sridharan last evening at Kilinochchi and Jaffna Provincial Councillors including Anandi Sashikaran this morning.
When contacted by Daily Mirror online Ms. Sashikaran said she met the visiting Canadian MP. “Yes a few of us met her today for a cordial discussion. It was not an official meeting but an informal one” she said.
