Thank you very much, Chair.
Dr. Saravanamuttu, we're glad to have you here. Your testimony is very powerful and compelling.
You talked about the institutionalization of militarization. Your statement was about the overwhelming intrusion of the military, and then toward the end your words were that the citizenry do not have all their rights.
From our last witnesses there was an observation that the reason there isn't significant protest toward the government is that there have been so many years of fighting that the vast majority of the citizenry are prepared to tolerate this move toward authoritarianism.
Do you concur with that statement?
