Sections of society alienated and embarrassed with Sinahala only forms!
Trincomalee journalist Mohamed Azwer Mahaka (45) has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission (HRC) alleging that the police have provided a form prepared only in Sinhala language, causing inconvenience to minorities.
He resides at 36/14, Thakkiya Road, Trincomalee and has lodged this complaint on behalf of the victims against the Police Department and the IGP.
He has pointed out that the Tamil Muslims who do not know the Sinhala language have found it very difficult to fill in the form as the form printed by the Police Department for collecting family details is only in Sinhala. He says the form has been distributed across the country.
He has stated that it is an administrative weakness to act without considering the people who are not familiar with the Sinhala language and that he has written evidence for that.
