“We have never accepted the homeland concept. Our stand is that Sinhalese, Thamils and Muslims are living in the North and East. This stand has been included even in the Indo-Lanka accord. Therefore the homeland concept will never be accepted. No request pertaining to the homeland concept has been made to us so far either. We have always clearly expressed our stand on this issue.” (The Daily News – January 20, 2002)
