A proposal has been submitted to Parliament seeking the appointment of a Parliamentary Select Committee to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the 1983 Black July riots and their impact.
The proposal was presented by National People’s Power (NPP) MP Thanura Dissanayake and seconded by fellow NPP MP Bhagya Sri Herath.
According to the proposal, the committee would be tasked with conducting a comprehensive study of the tragic events of Black July 1983 and preparing a report on its findings.
The proposed committee would also be responsible for submitting recommendations to Parliament on promoting national reconciliation and providing relief to individuals and communities affected by the violence.
The initiative seeks to examine the historical impact of the Black July incidents and identify measures to strengthen national unity and address the grievances of those affected. (Newswire)
