Summarization
Chandrika Kumaratunga, a former president of Sri Lanka, has been invited to speak at the London School of Economics. This has caused various people to speak out against providing her with a platform, as she is thought to be a war criminal responsible for torture and genocide. Those who disagree believe that she should have the right to express her ideas. There is a petition circulating to have the invite revoked. Additionally, Kumaratunga may have to provide connection to the UK in order to be investigated. The next generation of Tamil diaspora activists are organizing and protesting to show their disapproval.
Topic Modeling

Then they get criticised for platforming a génocidaire by hundreds of Tamils, only to ignore them and for the #LSE to still continue with the event. | 6 |

| 1624492729089593344 | @HSanJWijekoon #lka is going through a massive breakdown of established centre politics and It’s in need of reorganisation and a core young leadership! This should not include Rajapaksa Wickramasinhe and Sirisena! @KaruOnline and @CBKsrilanka should mentor! Would they have the drive? | 1 |

| 1626154450367938560 | @TamilGuardian @Thusi_Kumar @SAsiaLSE @CBKsrilanka Speaking out isn’t enough… hope there are protestors inside & outside the venue. This talk will be a good gauge of the level of activism/engagement of the next generation of Tamil diaspora activists… are they just keyboard warriors or can the make an actual difference? | 6 |
| 1624618948942794762 | @NamalAbhaya @HSanJWijekoon @KaruOnline @CBKsrilanka Absolutely not for the two recommendations. I won’t dispute their drive, but they too are responsible for the mess Sri Lanka is in now as the current leaders. It was during @CBKsrilanka’s rule most of the crooks were given access to enter politics. | 4 |
| 1627875378487513095 | @Dailymirror_SL @CBKsrilanka this Rajapaksa stole topic is worn out. The JVP brought stacks of files that contained hardly anything controversial. How about not trying to monkey on their backs and stand up for modern principles, that is, if you believe in them and can change your own path 🙏 | 4 |
