10 (
Sir, I thank you for granting me this opportunity to

speak on this Bill to amend the Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources Act, No. 2 of 1996, which is mainly aimed at
fulfilling the international obligations ratified by Sri
Lanka.
Sir, I am representing the part of this country where
international norms and rules are blatantly violated by the
intruding fishermen from our neighbouring country.
These intruders not only enter illegitimately into our
territorial waters, but also use the internationally banned
fishing methods such as bottom trawling and
monofilament nets which are known as "tangush nets",
causing destruction to the entire habitat of corals and sea
plants, including the continental shelf and also disturbing
the natural and free movement of sea lives, diverting their
direction. This has drastically affected the livelihood of
the fishermen in the North.
I have taken up this issue at different levels in Sri
Lanka as well as in India. I have taken up this issue with
the Hon. Minister of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
Development and with His Excellency President Mahinda
Rajapaksa; I have also written letters in this regard to the
Indian Prime Minister Shri Dr. Manmohan Singh and to
the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Dr. Selvi J. Jayalalitha. I
669
[ ]
even arranged two meetings between the fishermen

societies in the North and in Tamil Nadu in Kachchativu
during the Kachchativu Festival on 4th March, 2012 and
on 3rd March, 2013. Although other Tamil political
parties, particularly the TNA, have not even uttered a
word about this injustice caused to our local fisherfolk,
the party I represent, the EPDP, time and again, I have
taken up this matter and stood firmly on our stand on this
issue.
In spite of my party, the EPDP, standing up for the
rightful thing irrespective of the consequences, I
understand, Sir, that the Hon. Sajith Premadasa, during
"Oral Answers to Questions" on 25th October, 2013, had
raised issues tarnishing the image of my party.
Unfortunately, I was not in the House at that time and I
am thankful to the Hon. Dinesh Gunawardena for
answering that question on behalf of the Hon. Prime
Minister, revealing the truth about the EPDP.
Nevertheless, I wish to take this opportunity, Sir, to
enlighten the Hon. Sajith Premadasa, who is aspiring to
become the leader of the UNP, on the issues raised by
him in this House with regard to the EPDP during the
course of the Question Time. With regard to his query on
the course of action taken by the Government on the
recommendation made in the LLRC Report about the
EPDP, I wish to categorically state that although we
welcome the recommendations in the LLRC Report, the
allegations made against the EPDP in that have been
made with an ulterior motive. To prove this, I brought to
the notice of this House, with audio and its transcript
evidence, the discrepancy in what really transpired when I
gave evidence and the paraphrases stated in the Report as
being conversations between the Members of the
Commission and me.
During the course of my speech in Tamil on 4th April,
2012 in this House, I stated as follows: In the meantime,
I wish to make a statement with regard to the allegations
levelled against the EPDP in the LLRC Report. The
LLRC has attempted mudslinging on us by referring to
questions that were never put to me and by misquoting
the conversation between the Commissioners and me
when I gave evidence before the Commission. In order to
prove my innocence, I submit to the House the audio
recording of my oral submission, a copy of its transcript
and excerpts from the LLRC Report containing
allegations against the EPDP. I also wish to inform the
House that I am going to take legal action in this regard.
We feel that the allegations against the EPDP in the
Report have been made with an ulterior motive. The
LLRC Report was submitted to Parliament only on 17th
December, 2011, whereas long before that, on 22nd
November, 2011, an English newspaper had published
that there is an allegation against the EPDP in the
Report". That is what I stated in Parliament on that day. I
670
really sought legal advice to initiate a lawsuit against the

LLRC, but I was advised that since the Commission is no
more in existence, it may not be possible to take such
legal action.
With regard to the Hon. Sajith Premadasa's repeated
allegation during the course of the Question Time on that
day regarding the EPDP, that it was involved in violence,
I wish to inform the Hon. Member that all these are
politically motivated allegations. During the tenure of
office of the Hon. Sajith Premadasa's father, the late
President Premadasa, similar allegations were made
against us that his father was using us as a "killer squad"
to take revenge on his political opponents. Will the Hon.
Sajith Premadasa agree that his father would have ever
made such a request? Neither did his father request us to
indulge in violence against his opponents nor did we
carry out any such acts. I have a newspaper clipping of
the "Lakdiva" of June, 1994 wherein the lead news was
that his father, the late President Premadasa, contracted
my party to murder the late General Denzil
Kobbekaduwa and promised to give 60 boats as a gift of
gratitude for it. Will he agree that his father would have
done it? Similarly, I have newspaper clippings of the
"Aththa" of the 8th and 10th August, 1994, wherein the
lead news was that we had been contracted to murder the
then President Madam Chandrika Bandaranaike
Kumaratunga before the August, 1994 General Elections.
The news states that the late Madam Sirima Bandaranaike
made that allegation. Likewise, we were blamed for the
murders of the late Hon. Raviraj, the late Hon.
Maheswaran et cetera.
Many years have passed since all these sensational
news were published; different Governments have
changed since then.
Have any of them found even an iota of evidence with
regard to these allegations against the EPDP? The
judgment on the Hon. Maheswarans murder case stands
testimony to my statement. The Hon. Sajith Premadasa
has also referred to the violent incidents that took place
during the recently concluded Northern Provincial
Council Elections attributing those to the EPDP. I wish
to inform him that the persons who were involved in
those incidents are now charged before the court and the
details with regard to the incidents are available with the
police. The EPDP has nothing to do with them.
I am sure the Hon. Sajith Premadasa would agree with
me that all these are politically-motivated, fabricated
allegations levelled against me by my political opponents
in order to tarnish my image, the image of my party and
the image of the Government I am aligned to. With all
the character assassination, I always stood firm with the
party in power for the well-being of my community and
my country. I would like to state what the late President
Premadasa, father of the Hon. Sajith Premadasa, used to
say. He said: Assassinate me if you wish, but do not
assassinate my character.
671
2013 05
Hon. Deputy Speaker, before I conclude I wish to take

this opportunity to thank the Hon. Minister of Fisheries
and Aquatic Resources for his determined endeavour in
uplifting the standard of fishermen in the country,
particularly in the North, who have been worst affected by
three decades of armed conflict. In the same breath, I
would draw the attention of the Hon. Minister to the
following shortcomings. Firstly, there are more than 40
multi-day boats available in Jaffna. But, the owners lack
experience and resources for fishing in international
waters. Secondly, I would ask him to establish fisheries
harbours in Point Pedro, Inpasidy, Mathagal and
Gurunagar and to rehabilitate the Myilidy Fisheries
Harbour. Thirdly, while thanking the Hon. Minister for
the introduction of the 25 per cent subsidy scheme
attached to the Diyawara Diriya -2 loan scheme of the
Bank of Ceylon for the fishermen from the North, I
would request him to increase the number of beneficiaries
under this scheme.
I also wish to take this opportunity to request His
Excellency President Mahinda Rajapaksa to make
arrangements to resettle the people of Palali and Myilidy,
most of whom are fishermen, in their original places of
residence and help recommence their livelihood activities.
Finally, I would like to thank you, Hon. Deputy
Speaker, for granting me this opportunity to speak on this
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Amendment) Bill
which, I hope, if implemented fully, will help us to deal
with the issue of intruding fishermen as well. Also, I
would like to table* the newspaper articles which I
referred to earlier in my speech.
Thank you.
