During Business Questions today, the Leader of the Commons joined me - as Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils - in wishing Tamils in Carshalton and Wallington, in the UK and around the world a very happy Thai Pongal.
I raised the concerns I have received - from over 1,000 members of the Tamil community - over the destruction of the Mullivaikal Tamil Genocide Memorial Monument inside the premises of the Jaffna University.
I am pleased that the Commons Leader made clear our commitment to the UNHRC resolution on post-conflict accountability - as we have done in statements at the UNHRC in February, June and September of last year - and reiterated that we are working alongside our international partners on how best to take forward this issue at the March session of the UNHRC.
