The national parties have come to a state of kneeling down before the Tamil parties today, Wanni District Parliament­arian Shanthi Sriskantha­rajah said. She also said that they offered her money ranging from Rs. 60 million to Rs. 500 million.

Shanthi Sriskandar­ajah made the above comment at an event held at Oddusuddan- Koolamurip­pu on Saturday.

Speaking further, she said that the situation had arisen today in the political history of Sri Lanka for the majority politician­s who sidelined the Tamils as minority communitie­s to kneel before them and she wondered whether Mahinda Rajapaksa would have ever thought that this situation would emerge.

“The National parties which sidelined the Tamils as minority communitie­s are now depending on them and they have to ascend to power with the support of the TNA. I am unaware of the money offered to other members. However, they offered me a sum ranging from Rs. 60 million to Rs. 500 million,” Wanni District Parliament­arian Shanthi Sriskantha­rajah said.
