National People’s Power (NPP) lawmakers Thanura Dissanayake and Bhagya Sri Herath have formally introduced a motion in Parliament to establish a special committee. This body is intended to conduct an in-depth examination of the 1983 Black July riots, a period of significant civil unrest in Sri Lanka. The committee's mandate includes documenting the historical consequences of these events and formulating a detailed report. Beyond historical analysis, the proposed group is tasked with drafting recommendations aimed at fostering national reconciliation and offering support to those impacted by the violence. By reviewing these past incidents, the initiative aims to address long-standing grievances and propose concrete steps to enhance national unity across the country.
