Speaking in the wake of the election results in Sri Lanka, Dr.Anbumani Ramadoss said Pasumai Thayagam, as a member with consultative status, is being allotted two minutes, without voting rights.

The UNHRC and the international community should ensure a referendum with the participation of the Tamil diaspora and the Tamils in Sri Lanka, he said.
