I am deeply saddened by the passing of Hon. Mavai Senathirajah, a veteran political leader who dedicated his life to the service of the people. His unwavering commitment to upholding the rights of the Tamil community has left an enduring legacy in Sri Lanka’s political history.
As a leader of the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) and a key figure in the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), Hon. Senathirajah played a pivotal role in advocating for the rights and aspirations of his people while striving for unity and reconciliation. His decades-long service in Parliament reflected his dedication to the democratic process and his deep-rooted belief in peaceful political engagement.
His passing is a great loss to all who knew and worked with him and I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and all those who mourn him. May his legacy continue to inspire future generations in their pursuit of justice and equality.
Dr.Harini Amarasuriya.
Prime Minister of Sri Lanka
