Sri Lanka Police says that nowhere in the world is there a policy to establish Police forces based on a race.
Police Media Spokesperson SSP Ajith Rohana speaking at a media briefing that was held yesterday expressed these views in reply to a statement that was made by Northern Province Chief Minister C V Vigneswaran.
The Chief Minister stated that a Police force which is not proficient with the Tamil language is a hindrance to the North.
However, Police Media Spokesperson stated that those arriving at any Police station in the North can speak in their mother tongue.
