In a statement, its media secretary Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe says this goes onto show that the TNA has not yet woken up from its dream of a Tamil-speaking federal state.

The JHU asks as to what the Tamil society has gained from political opinions and struggles for a Tamil eelam, or federal or provincial governments.

Without learning a lesson even six years after the defeat of the LTTE terrorism, Tamil politicians are once again taking their people towards the doors of destruction, it warns.

They will have to experience repercussions of their’ rallying Tamil youths by feeding them with racist, separatist ideologies, says the JHU.

The opposition leader’s call is clearly a violation of the constitution, it notes, adding that such remarks by people’s representatives who are sworn not to divide the country is a defying of the law and the constitution.

The JHU stresses to the country and the nation that it will not hesitate to politically and ideologically defeat the northern separatism that is raising its head on the pretext of federalism.
