I quote this from the newspaper article

"The one million strong Sri Lankan bureaucracy has a major flaw. Civil servants knowing Tamil, the country's second official language, constitute only 8.31% of the total staff, though Tamil is the mother tongue of about 20% of the country's population of 20 million."

THIS IS DISCRIMINATION. Even you cannot deny this. Raja Collure is a Sinhala and he has stated all this.
