NO TAMIL WOULD TRAVEL IN FERRY SERVICE - SEEMAN

CHENNAI: Naam Thamizhar Iyakkam (NTI) leader Seeman on Saturday asked the Centre to reveal its stand on the resolution adopted in the State Assembly demanding economic sanctions be imposed against Sri Lanka for indulging in genocide.


Addressing a public meeting in Saidapet to thank the government for adopting the resolution, he said Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s move had won appreciation of Tamils across the world. “The Chief Minister also took up the issue with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during her meeting in New Delhi,” he stated.


Coming down heavily on the passenger ferry service between Thoothukudi and Colombo, he said no Tamil would travel by it. “Did any Tamil ask for such a service when the Sri Lankan Tamils are facing the worst crisis in their history?” he said.


“We should not sell or purchase goods from the island nation,” he added, reiterating a demand to shut down the Lankan embassy in Chennai. Taking a dig at DMK chief M Karunanidhi for not supporting the Tamil cause, he said the Congress was in a coma, and would die on its own.




Six resolutions, including rejection of the Katchatheevu agreement and release of inmates in special camps, were adopted. Actor Sathyaraj, directors Mannivannan and R K Selvamani also spoke, reports Express News Service.

PayPal wants report from Sri Lanka: Sampath, three other banks to introduce service

Though the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) was first to introduce PayPal to Sri Lanka through the Sampath Bank, it is revealed that three other banks too have been now earmarked by the CBSL. A senior official from the CBSL told AdaderanaBiz, “We were to first introduce PayPal through the Sampath Bank. However, we now plan to introduce this service to the country through four banks. We also plan to gradually involve the rest of the banks in the country.” While the CBSL is discussing with the PayPal branch in India to introduce the service to Sri Lanka, PayPal’s Indian arm has reportedly requested a report on Sri Lanka’s exports. The senior CBSL official told AdaderanaBiz that they would be submitting such a report and hence the introduction of PayPal to Sri Lanka would face a slight delay. Though cash cannot be remitted to Sri Lanka through the world renowned PayPal money transfer service sending money from Sri Lanka is possible even now.
