In a massive rally on January 30, thousands of Tamils in Jaffna District have come out to protest against the 13th Amendment and have demanded recognition of Tamil nationhood and sovereignty through a federal structure, reports Tamil Guardian. In a public statement, the Tamil National People’s Front (TNPF) said “Even after a genocide in 2009, Tamils have handed consistent and unanimous mandates via democratic elections, rejecting a Unitary state, and demanding that their nationhood be recognized. Any solution that is imposed on us within the Unitary state i.e., 13th Amendment or any other structure instead of a federal structure that recognizes Tamil nationhood, its sovereignty, the Tamil homeland, and the right to self-determination betrays the mandates of the Tamil people."
