War Zone: Sri Parliament and Cost People

war zone: Wigneswaran said a disproportionate number of soldiers are still stationed in the former war zone, according to Metro News. Even after eight years since the war's end and with no reports of any kind of political violence during this period, some 150,000 soldiers are kept in the northern province, Wigneswaran said. It was here that the now-defeated Tamil Tiger rebels mounted their last stand against advancing government troops in May 2009. He accused the soldiers of taking over residents' farmlands and homes and starting up businesses that have unfairly competed with Tamil-owned firms and cost people their jobs. The opposition leader of Sri Lanka's Parliament, Rajavarothayam Sampanthan, said that details of the war largely hidden from the world must be revealed. In truth the army, navy and the air force have no business here, Wigneswaran said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
