The UNESCO Peace Award winner V. Anandasangari maintains that the de-merger will be more destructive than constructive. He says a de-merger introduced at a time when the people were running for their lives had no meaning.
He says most of the government machinery in the Northeast was defunct and that the government could have invested its time on streamlining the defunct machinery rather than introducing something which was not in the long run, going to pay dividends.
“In a merged council, the Sinhalese could have been looked after like how Tamils are looked after in the Sinhala dominated provinces. I really don’t understand why and how all of a sudden the de-merger came about. It is very unfortunate, but we can’t help but face it,” he said.
He said he could not fathom who will be the beneficiary of this exercise and it was his view, only the JVP would benefit out of this.
“The government should have given the people a chance to decide. This is a highly sensitive issue and therefore the government should have treated this with sensitivity. But unfortunately a rash decision has been taken,” he added.
