TULF PRESIDENT WANTS THE PROXY
PARTY OF THE TAMIL TIGERS, THE TNA TO PROTEST AGAINST THE HEINOUS CRIMES
AGAINST CIVILIANS
By Walter Jayawardhana
Pointing out that within two days of the assassination of a Tamil lady
lawyer of the EPDP Tamil Tigers have used a suicide bomber to kill ten
people and injure 90 others, Sri Lanka’s most senior Tamil leader
and President of the Tamil United Liberation Front V.Ananda Sangaree
asked why cannot the proxy party of the LTTE, the Tamil National Alliance
(TNA) protest against these heinous crimes.
“Once again it is somebody else’s brainwashed child, he had
sacrificed without any known protest neither from the suicide-bomber’s
parents nor from any one of the TNA Members of Parliament who are although
proxies of the LTTE, in name elected by the people”, said Sangaree
in a statement issued in Colombo.
Sangaree in a strongly worded statement said that the international
community should wake up and condemn these atrocities in one voice and
demand Prabhakaran, the LTTE leader stop playing with innocent lives.
The following is his full statement: “Within two days of the assassination
of Ms. Maheswary Velauthan of the EPDP the LTTE has once again shown
its atrocious feat in the heart of Colombo. As usual Prabaharan has
selected an innocent family to provide a suicide bomber for the game
he plays off and on and thoroughly enjoys. Once again it is somebody
else’s brainwashed child, he had sacrificed without any known protest
neither from the suicide-bomber’s parents nor from any one of the
TNA Members of Parliament who are although proxies of the LTTE, in name
elected by the people. I am not asking the TNA Members to sacrifice
their own children. My only worry is as to why can’t they lodge
a strong protest against human sacrifices by the LTTE. That is all I
am asking. I strongly condemn the LTTE for playing with human lives.
“Ten innocent people some of whom are police officers, have died
and over eighty-five seriously injured. How many more will die will
not be known for a few days and by the time the exact figure is made
known, more similar incidents would have taken place. Every time such
an incident takes place more and more widows, orphans and destitute
persons are created. In addition several lose their eyesights, limbs
and get benumbed also. All the sympathy such victims earn are forgotten
sooner or later, but Prabaharan goes on and his people keep on glorifying
him.
“How are we going to stop this madness? There is only one way by
which we can stop this. Without waiting for some unpleasant incident
to take place, with in the International Community, the possibility
of which is not ruled out, the International Community should wakeup
and condemn these atrocious acts of the LTTE with one voice and warn
them to stop forthwith playing with innocent human lives.
“The Government too without further delay come out with a reasonable
and acceptable solution, not due to the fear of the LTTE but only to
enable the International Community to act positively without any further
delay.
“The TULF expresses its deepest sympathies to the kith and kin
and all relations and friends of the unfortunate victims.”
