Today, we commemorate the victims of the Tamil genocide and honour the memory of those who lost their lives. We stand with Tamil communities in Oakville East, across Canada, and around the world in remembrance, reflection, and the continued pursuit of justice, peace, and human rights.
On Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, we honour the tens of thousands of civilians killed during the Sri Lankan Civil War and stand with the survivors, families, and communities who endured profound suffering — including many in Canada’s Tamil diaspora.

It’s absolutely devastating to see Jews attacked, again, this time in Australia. We will not rest until antisemitism is defeated. This is an attack on us all.

Glad that the Vice President, Thiru CP Radhakrishnan Ji, released a stamp in honour of Emperor Perumbidugu Mutharaiyar II (Suvaran Maran). He was a formidable administrator blessed with remarkable vision, foresight and strategic brilliance. He was known for his commitment to justice. He was a great patron of Tamil culture as well. I call upon more youngsters to read about his extraordinary life. @VPIndia @CPR_VP
The Hon’ble Vice-President of India, Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, released a commemorative postage stamp in honour of Emperor Perumbidugu Mutharaiyar II (Suvaran Maran) today at the Vice-President’s Enclave, New Delhi. Speaking on the occasion, the Hon’ble Vice-President appreciated the Government under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, for continuous support to Tamil culture and language. He lauded initiatives such as the Kashi Tamil Sangamam and efforts to recognise and honour Tamil kings, leaders, and freedom fighters who had not received due recognition earlier. The Vice-President mentioned that the release of the commemorative postage stamp on Emperor Perumbidugu Mutharaiyar was part of this ongoing process of recognition. He said that recognising unsung heroes is essential to revive the cultural pride of the nation as India marches towards Viksit Bharat. Hon’ble Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman;Hon’ble Deputy Chairman, Rajya Sabha, Shri Harivansh and Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, Dr. L.

Touchdown in Jaffna! Acting HC Theresa O’Mahony joined @USEmbSL & @AusHCSriLanka colleagues to support aid delivery in the North through our UNOPS and Vriddhi partners. Thanks to @usairforce logistics support, the AUKUS partnership is providing much-needed aid across Sri Lanka.

Horrendous and heart breaking news from Bondi beach. The news it was a terrorist attack against Jewish families celebrating at a Hanukkah event is devastating. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. What sad scenes, on what should be a day of celebration.

A special message from The King, in support of Stand Up To Cancer. 🧡 As part of this year’s @SU2CUK campaign, @CR_UK and @Channel4, with support from the @NHS, have launched a nationwide Screening Checker to help people find out which cancer screening programmes they are eligible for and seek helpful advice on the process. 🔗 screeningchecker.co.uk

Chanukah should be a time of celebration and joy. The news that the Bondi beach attack was an antisemitic terrorist attack against Jewish families at a Chanukah event is sickening. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. The United Kingdom will always stand with Australia and the Jewish community. We are actively working with the @CST_UK on the policing of Chanukah events.

As we light the Chanukiah, our thoughts and prayers are with those murdered in the terrorist attack on Bondi beach today, their loved ones and the whole Jewish community. Light will always win over darkness.

🌾 I had the honour of introducing @Keir_Starmer as he hosted Thai Pongal celebrations in Downing Street. 🇬🇧As the first British MP of Tamil heritage, it was wonderful to help bring people together for this special moment, celebrating the contributions of Tamils across the UK.

Two months ago an act of unspeakable violence against innocent young girls rocked our country. Where others sought to exploit this tragedy to divide Britain, the people of Southport and beyond came together in unity. They are the best of us.

✅ A proud moment delivering my maiden speech to Parliament Whilst Stratford & Bow is a new constituency, its history is old and rich. Home to Suffragettes, titans of the Labour movement, NHS founders, legendary Grime artists, Pearly Kings & Queens & a rich tapestry of cultures
