06 April 2015 The
chief minister of the Northern province, C V Wigneswaran, told the
visiting Australian High Commissioner, Robyn Mudie on Monday that the
change in government in Sri Lanka had failed to produce the changes that
the Tamils' had expected.
"The ground situation post regime
change and issues which were expected to take place after the change of
government, but have failed to take place were discussed," Mr
Wigneswaran said speaking to journalists afterwards.
“She asked me what kind of advantages and disadvantages had the political change brought among the people," Mr Wigneswaran continued. “The change of government has not given us anything we had anticipated," he reportedly replied. “She
[Ms Mudie] pledged that their government would work tirelessly to bring
reconciliation and a better future between Tamil people and [Sri
Lankan] government.”
Ms
Mudie, who was on a visit to Jaffna to review the Australian
government's projects in the Northern province, met with Mr Wigneswaran
at his official residence in Jaffna.
