Thondaman's portrait in Parliament

A portrait of Senior Politician late S Thondaman will be unveiled in Parliament shortly.

The proposal submitted in this regard by UNP parliamentarian R Yogarajan was supported by UPFA MP parliamentarian A H M Azwer. The House Committee has agreed to this proposal.

The Ceylon Workers' Congress had been asked to do the portrait in India. Late MP Thondaman was a member of the first Parliament in 1947.

He was a Cabinet minister and was a plantation leader of Indian descent.
