Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarians continued their sit-in-protest in Sri Lanka's parliament when it resumed its sitting Tuesday. TNA parliamentarians have been demanding the re-opening of the landroute A9 to Jaffna peninsula and protesting against the de-merger of NorthEast province as directed by the Supreme Court.

TNA parliamentarians walked into the well of house with black bands in their arms and sat on the floor in front of the podium soon after the Speaker W.J.M.Lokkubandara took the chair.

TNA parliamentarians began their protest campaign last month and continued till the parliament was adjourned for November 7.
