Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has said that language should be used as a bridge which link the people, but not as a tool to divide them. Addressing the National Tamil Language Day ceremony held at the Jaffna Hindu College last evening, Mr. Sirisena said that true human beings, who value the humanity, must respect all the languages of a country and must learn all those languages. <br/><br/>His comments came as denying Tamil language an equal status was one of the reasons behind demand of Tamil separatism and birth of LTTE. The present government has taken several steps to remove the anomalies and Tamil version of national anthem has been accepted for official ceremonies.<br/>Meanwhile, some people staged protest during his visit to Jaffna demanding transfer of three Tamil prisoners again to Vavuniya prison in Northern province. The President addressing the gathering emphasized that even though any one has the right to protest, his attempt is to build a just and peaceful society while not allowing any room to recurrence of a brutal war.
