The acceptance by Tamil representatives of proposals in the Sri Lankan Constitutional Assembly’s interim report represents a “historic” moment for Sri Lanka, Tamil National Alliance (TNA) legislator M.A. Sumanthiran told Parliament on Monday. “Let all join and support this,” he said at the house.

The three-day debate is aimed at discussing the interim report against which majority Buddhist religious leaders have already expressed opposition.
