Their houses are there, they can come back whenever they want, we have no problem Is. Recently 4 thousand people have returned, it all depends on what they want. " It is noteworthy that with the return of Rajapaksa to power in Sri Lanka, there is an atmosphere of fear among Tamil and Muslim minorities.
