### ITAK Declines Support for No-Confidence Motion Against PM 📈

The Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) has officially announced it will not support the proposed no-confidence motion (NCM) against Prime Minister and Education Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya. The party characterized the move by the opposition as "politically motivated" and lacking credible evidence. Key Parliamentary Developments: • ITAK Decision: The party will neither sign the NCM nor vote against the PM, citing a lack of substantive proof for allegations. • Sector Focus: The motion stems from controversies regarding new education modules; however, ITAK noted that the problematic content has already been withdrawn. • Opposition Action: Opposition MPs, led by the SJB, continue to collect signatures for the PM's removal from her dual portfolios. Economic & Social Context: • Education Reform: ITAK highlighted the urgent need for reforms, noting that Sri Lankan primary education currently lags behind international standards. • National Stability: The party emphasized that political disagreements should not devolve into personal attacks, especially those targeting women in leadership. • Community Concerns: While acknowledging unresolved issues within the Tamil community, ITAK prioritizes "principled opposition" over what they termed defamatory political reprisal. ITAK reiterated that the focus should remain on improving long-term learning outcomes rather than seeking the resignation of the Minister over settled module errors.
