Aug 06, Colombo: Housing, Engineering Services and Construction Minister of Sri Lanka Wimal Weerawansa says politicians should not create divisions among communities for political gain.

Addressing an event in the Ampara District, Weerawansa has said there are several political parties in the country that are acting in an extremist manner.

He has said that such extremist parties were present in the government as well as in the opposition.

He has pointed out that politicians in Tamil Nadu were promoting the concept of an Eelam without working for the betterment of the Tamil people and the push for an Eelam is not done in the best interest of the Sri Lankan Tamils.

He has pointed out that Tamil Nadu politicians were speaking about the Sri Lankan Tamil when the Tamils in South India were suffering.
