The Jaffna District Development Committee (DDC) has rejected the allegation made by Tamil National Alliance, Jaffna District MP M.A.Sumanthiran that Chinese nationals are engaged in road projects in the North.
Jaffna District Development Committee Chairman, MP Angajan Ramanadan said that the photograph that MP Sumanthiran had issued to media institutions to confirm his statement was a person from Batticaloa and not a Chinese national.
MP Ramanaden said the photograph of the person named as a Chinese by MP Sumanthiran is wrong and said he also sent the correct information about this person to the mass media.
Although MP Sumanthiran has alleged in his Twitter Account as well that Chinese nationals are involved in development of roads in the MP Ramanadan said that all of those facts are false.
By spreading false news such as this, the Tamil National Alliance expects only to obtain narrow political advantage, Ramanadan said in a statement.
