Vaddukoddai police swamped with complaints demanding Mervyn Silva’s arrest

By Dinasena Ratugamage

Several Tamil organisations in Jaffna have lodged complaints with the Vaddukoddai Police on Wednesday demanding the arrest of former Minister Mervyn Silva.The organisations said that the former minister had made several statements recently that would turn the Sinhalese against the Tamils.

They also claim that Silva has threatened the Tamil people stating that he would sever their heads and take them to Kelaniya.

Such statements not only led to animosity between communities but also created a negative image of Sri Lanka among the international community, the organisations have told the Vaddukoddai police.
