This year, from August 8 to August 10, it will share with the world its model of how lasting peace can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in Mannar, on Saturday, the Tamil National Alliance organised a protest, against appropriation of land by security forces, and the \u2018pass\u2019 system for fishing in the northern province. \u201cWe are also Sri Lankans. Let us live peacefully,\u201d read a placard.<\/p>\n<p>The protest, organised in Mannar, is the third such in a series that the TNA has planned. The Alliance alleges that about a fifth of the land in Mannar district has been taken over for military purposes. Land held by the military, not being released back to the original owners, is a serious issue in all of the Northern Province, which was once in the hands of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, though fishing activities have resumed, the Navy, which has its base in the port of Mannar, has impeded free fishing operations, the party alleges.<\/p>\n<p>TNA MP Mavai Senathirajah demanded that the military move out from people&#8217;s private properties. Another Alliance MP M.A. Sumanthiran called on people to join similar protests. Mannar Bishop Rayappa Joseph also joined in the protests.<\/p>\n<div id=\"articleKeywords\">\n<p>The Hindu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":47555,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2201,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-from-foreign-media","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
